Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
- (A) is true but (R) is false
- (A) is false but (R) is true
Answer
(2) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
Solution
Assertion: for an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on temperature ⇒ U=nCv(Tf-Ti) for any process.
∵ Cp-Cv=R and = CpCv ⇒ Cv( -1)=R ⇒ Cv= R -1
∴ U= nR -1(Tf-Ti) ⇒ (A) is true.
Reason: Cv= f2R, Cp= ( f2+1 )R ⇒ = CpCv=1+ 2f ⇒ (R) is true.
(A) follows from Mayer's relation Cp-Cv=R; it does not use the degrees of freedom f.
∴ (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
