MCQ
An ideal gas with adiabatic exponent $(\gamma=1.5)$ undergoes a process in which work done by the gas is same as increase in internal energy of the gas. The molar heat capacity of gas for the process is -
  • $C =4 R$
  • B
    $C =0$
  • C
    $C =2 R$
  • D
    $C = R$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$C =4 R$
a
(a)

$\Rightarrow \Delta Q =\Delta U+\Delta W$

$\Delta U=\Delta W$

$\Rightarrow \Delta Q =2\Delta U$

$\Rightarrow nC\Delta T =2 nC _{ v } \Delta t $

$\Rightarrow C =2 C _{ v }=\frac{2 R }{\gamma-1}$

$\Rightarrow C =\frac{2 R }{1.5-1}=4 R$
