An ideal mono-atomic gas is heated at constant pressure. The fraction of the total energy applied which increases the internal energy for the gas is

Options

  1. A35\dfrac{3}{5}
  2. B53\dfrac{5}{3}
  3. C75\dfrac{7}{5}
  4. D57\dfrac{5}{7}

Correct answer

A. 35\dfrac{3}{5}

Step-by-step solution

Heat supplied at constant pressure is given by ΔQ=nCpΔT\Delta Q = n C_p \Delta T

Increase in internal energy is given by ΔU=nCvΔT\Delta U = n C_v \Delta T

The fraction of total energy applied which increases the internal energy is ΔUΔQ=nCvΔTnCpΔT=CvCp\dfrac{\Delta U}{\Delta Q} = \dfrac{n C_v \Delta T}{n C_p \Delta T} = \dfrac{C_v}{C_p}

For an ideal mono-atomic gas, Cv=32RC_v = \dfrac{3}{2} R and Cp=52RC_p = \dfrac{5}{2} R

Fraction = 32R52R=35\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{2} R}{\dfrac{5}{2} R} = \dfrac{3}{5}

Answer: 35\dfrac{3}{5}
