Heat is supplied to a diatomic gas at constant pressure. Then the ratio of Q : U : W is .

  1. 2 : 3 : 5
  2. 5 : 3 : 2
  3. 2 : 5 : 7
  4. 7 : 5 : 2

Answer

(4) 7 : 5 : 2

Solution

At constant pressure for n moles and temperature rise T:

Q=nCp T, U=nCv T, W=P V=nR T

Diatomic gas: Cv= 52R, Cp=Cv+R= 72R

Q: U: W= 72R: 52R:R

=7:5:2

Check: Q= U+ W ⇒ 7=5+2

Answer: (4)
