JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 12th April Evening Slot - No. 10)

A diatomic gas with rigid molecules does 10 J of work when expanded at constant pressure. What would be the heat energy absorbed by the gas, in this process ?
35 J
30 J
25 J
40 J

Explanation

At constant pressure,

W = P$$\Delta $$V = nR$$\Delta $$T

At constant pressure, heat supplied

Q = nCp$$\Delta $$T

$${W \over Q} = {R \over {{C_p}}}$$

For diatomic gas, Cp = $${7 \over 2}R$$

$$ \therefore $$ $${{10} \over Q} = {R \over {{7 \over 2}R}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ Q = 10 $$ \times $$ $${7 \over 2}$$ = 35 J
