A monoatomic ideal gas undergoes a process in which the ratio of P to V at any instant is constant and equals to 1 . What is the molar heat capacity of the gas?
Options
- A4 R 2
- B3 R 2
- C5 R 2
- D0
Correct answer
A. 4 R 2
Step-by-step solution
The molar heat capacity for any process is given by a following expression C=C_V+ R 1- when p V^ = constant and C_p / C_V= Here, p V =1 i.e., p V⁻¹= constant C= 3 2 R+ R 1-(-1) = 3 2 R+ R 2 = 4 2 R
