JEE Main2016PhysicsKinetic Theory of GasesActual
An ideal gas undergoes a quasi-static, reversible process in which its molar heat capacity C remains constant. If during this process the relation of pressure P and volume V is given by P V n = constant, then n is given by (Here C P and C V are molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively) :
Options
- An = C P - C C - C V
- Bn = C - C V C - C P
- Cn = C P C V
- Dn = C - C P C - C V
Correct answer
D. n = C - C P C - C V
Step-by-step solution
P V n = k C = C v + R 1 - n ; C - C v = R 1 - n 1 - n = R C - C v ; n = 1 - R C - C v n = C - C v - R C - C v ; n = C - C v - C p - C v C - C v n = C - C v - C p + C v C - C v ; n = C - C p C - C v
