Q.
One mole of an ideal mono atomic gas at temperature T0 expands slowly according to the law VP=constant. If the final temperature is 2T0 , heat supplied to the gas is
In a process PVx = constant, molar heat capacity is given by C=γ−1R+1−xR
As the process is VP=constant.
i.e PV-1 = constant, therefor, x = -1
For ideal monoatomic gas, γ = 5/3 ∴C=35−1R+1−(−1)R=23R+2R=2R ΔQ=nC(ΔT)=1(2R)(2T0−T0)=2RT0
