Question

For a reversible thermodynamic process for monoatomic gas $PV^{x}=$ constant. If for this process $x=\frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}},$ then heat capacity for the process is :-

• A. $\frac{3 R}{2}$
• B. $\frac{5 R}{2}$
• C. $0$
• D. $\infty $

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$x=\frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}=\gamma $ so, process is an adiabatic process.
So, heat capacity $=0$
