A diatomic gas is heated at constant pressure, what fraction of the heat energy is used to increase the internal energy?
Options
- A3 5
- B3 7
- C5 7
- D5 9
Correct answer
C. 5 7
Step-by-step solution
The fraction of heat energy used in increasing internal energy = n C v ∆ T n C p ∆ T = C v C p = f 2 f 2 + 1 = f f + 2 For diatomic gas, f = 5 ⇒ f f + 2 = 5 7
