Q.
One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas at temperature T0 expands slowly according to the law VP. If the final temperature is 2T0 heat supplied 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, therefore, x=−1.
For an ideal monoatomic gas, γ=35 ∴C=35−1R+1−(−1)R=23R+2R=2R ΔQ=nC(ΔT)=1(2R)(2T0−T0)=2RT0
