MCQ
A triatomic, diatomic and monatomic gas is supplied same amount of heat at constant pressure, then
  • A
    Fractional energy used to change internal energy is maximum in monatomic gas
  • B
    Fractional energy used to change internal energy is maximum in diatomic gas
  • Fractional energy used to change internal energy is maximum in triatomic gases
  • D
    Fractional energy used to change internal energy is same in all the three gases

Answer

Correct option: C.
Fractional energy used to change internal energy is maximum in triatomic gases
c
(c)

$\frac{\Delta U}{\Delta Q}=\frac{n C_V \Delta T}{n C_P \Delta T}=\frac{C_V}{C_P}=\frac{1}{\gamma}$

$\left(\frac{\Delta U}{\Delta Q}\right)_{\text {mono }}=\frac{1}{\gamma_{\text {mono }}}=\frac{3}{5}$

$\left(\frac{\Delta U}{\Delta Q}\right)_{\text {dia }}=\frac{1}{\gamma_{\text {dia }}}=\frac{5}{7}$

$\left(\frac{\Delta U}{\Delta Q}\right)_{\text {tria }}=\frac{1}{\gamma_{\text {tria }}}=\frac{3}{4}$

Fractional energy used to change internal energy is maximum in Triatomic gas.
