Equal volumes of monoatomic and diatomic gases at the same temperature are given equal quantities of heat. Then,
Options
- Athe temperature of diatomic gas will be more
- Bthe temperature of monoatomic gas will be more
- Cthe temperature of both will be zero
- Dnothing can be said
Correct answer
B. the temperature of monoatomic gas will be more
Step-by-step solution
Energy required to increase the temperature of one mole of monoatomic gas by T=3 / 2 T Energy required to increase the temperature of one mole of a diatomic gas by T=5 / 2 T So, for equal volume i.e. equal moles equal amount of heat will increase the temperature of a monoatomic gas more than the diatomic gas
