When an ideal diatomic gas is heated at constant pressure, the fraction of the heat energy supplied which increases the internal energy of the gas, is
A
$2/5$
B
$3/5$
C
$3/7$
D
$5/7$
Solution
Fraction of supplied energy which increases the internal energy is given by
$f=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{U}}{(\Delta \mathrm{Q})_{\mathrm{P}}}=\frac{(\Delta \mathrm{Q})_{\mathrm{V}}}{(\Delta \mathrm{Q})_{\mathrm{P}}}=\frac{\mu \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{V}} \Delta \mathrm{T}}{\mu \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{P}} \Delta \mathrm{T}}=\frac{1}{\gamma}$
For diatomic gas $\gamma=\frac{7}{5} \Rightarrow f=\frac{5}{7}$
