When an ideal triatomic non-linear gas is heated at constant pressure, the fraction of the heat energy supplied which increases the internal energy of the gas is

A

$1.33$

B

$0.75$

C

$0.71$

D

$1.67$

Solution

Heat supplied at constant pressure $=\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{p}} \Delta \mathrm{T}$ 

Change in internal energy $=\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{v}} \Delta \mathrm{T}$

$\therefore$ Fraction $=\frac{C_{v}}{C_{p}}=\frac{1}{\gamma}$

For a non$-$linear triatomic gas $\gamma=\frac{4}{3}$

fraction $=\frac{3}{4}$
