MCQ
The specific heat of an ideal gas is
- AProportional to $T$
- BProportional to ${T^2}$
- CProportional to ${T^3}$
- ✓Independent of $T$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Independent of $T$
d
For an ideal gas,internal energy is given by:
For an ideal gas,internal energy is given by:
$U =\frac{3}{2} NK _{ B } T$
$U =\frac{3}{2} RT$
Specific heat, $C _{ V }=\left(\frac{\partial U }{\partial T }\right)$
$=\frac{3}{2} R$
Therefore specific heat does not depend on temperature.
