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

$\frac{2}{5}$

B

$\frac{3}{5}$

C

$\frac{3}{7}$

D

$\frac{5}{7}$

Solution

When a gas is heated at constant pressure then its one part goes to increase the internal energy and another part for work done against external pressure i.e.

$(\Delta Q)_{p}=\Delta U+\Delta W$

$\mu C_{p} \Delta T=\mu C_{v} \Delta T+P \Delta V$

So fraction of energy that goes to increase the internal energy

$\frac{\Delta U}{(\Delta Q)_{p}}=\frac{C_{v}}{C_{p}}=\frac{1}{\gamma}=\frac{5}{7}$

[As $\mathrm{y}=7 / 5$ for diatomic gas]
