One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas undergoes the process in the given diagram. The molar heat capacity for this process is

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
\Delta Q_{A \rightarrow B}=\Delta W_{A \rightarrow B}+\Delta U_{A \rightarrow B} =18 p_0 V_0+\frac{81}{2} p_0 V_0=\frac{117}{2} p_0 V_0 \thereforeC=\frac{\Delta Q}{n \Delta T} =\frac{117 p_0 V_0 / 2}{\frac{30 p_0 V_0}{R}-\frac{3 p_0 V_0}{R}}=\frac{117 p_0 V_0 / 2}{\frac{27 p_0 V_0}{R}}=\frac{13 R}{6}$
