A vessel contains an ideal monoatomic gas which expands at constant pressure, when heat $Q$ is given to it. Then the work done in expansion is : 

A

$Q$

B

$\frac{3}{5}\,\,Q$

C

$\frac{2}{5} \,\,Q$

D

$\frac{2}{3}\,\,Q$

Solution

At constant pressure $\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{P} \Delta \mathrm{V}$

For monoatomic$:-$ $-C_{p}=\frac{5}{2} R$

and $\mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{p}} \Delta \mathrm{T}$

$\Rightarrow Q=n \times \frac{5 R}{2} \times \frac{P \Delta V}{n R}=\frac{5}{2} w$

$\therefore W=\frac{2}{5} Q$
