Heat is supplied to a diatomic gas at constant pressure. Then the ratio of Q : U : W is .
- 2 : 3 : 5
- 5 : 3 : 2
- 2 : 5 : 7
- 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)
