Thermodynamics Question 314

Question: A diatomic ideal gas is heated at constant volume until the pressure is doubled and again heated at constant pressure until volume is doubled. The average molar heat capacity for whole process is:

Options:

A) 13R6

B) 19R6

C) 23R6

D) 17R6

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b]Let initial pressure, volume, temperature be P0,V0,T0 indicated by state A in P-V diagram.

The gas is then isochoric ally taken to state B(2P0,V0,2T0)

and then taken from state B to state C(2P0,2V0,4T0) isobaric ally.

Total heat absorbed by 1 mole of gas

ΔQ=Cv(2T0T0)+CP(4T02T0)=52

RT0+72R×2T0=192RT0

Total change in temperature from state A to C is ΔT=3T0

Molar heat capacity

=ΔQΔT=192RT03T0=196R.
