A diatomic gas with rigid molecules does 10 J of work when expanded at constant pressure. What would be the heat energy absorbed by the gas, in this process?
Options
- A40 J
- B35 J
- C25 J
- D30 J
Correct answer
B. 35 J
Step-by-step solution
C p = 7 2 R (for diatomic gas) Δ Q = n C p Δ T ∴ I s o b a r i c p r o c e s s Δ W = n R Δ T = 10 J Given ∴ Δ Q = n × 7 2 R Δ T = 7 2 × 10 = 35 J n R Δ T = 10 J
