A diatomic gas,

Question:

A diatomic gas, having $C_{p}=\frac{7}{2} R$ and

$C_{v}=\frac{5}{2} R$, is heated at constant pressure. The

ratio $\mathrm{dU}: \mathrm{dQ}: \mathrm{dW}:$

  1. $5: 7: 3$

  2. $5: 7: 2$

  3. $3: 7: 2$

  4. $3: 5: 2$


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

$\mathrm{dU}=\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{v}} \mathrm{dT}$

$\mathrm{dQ}=\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{p}} \mathrm{dT}$

$\mathrm{dW}=\mathrm{PdV}=\mathrm{nRdT}$ (isobaric process)

$\mathrm{dU}: \mathrm{dQ}: \mathrm{dW}: \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}: \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}: \mathrm{R}$

$=\frac{5 R}{2}: \frac{7 R}{2}: R=5: 7: 2$
