JEE PYQ: Thermodynamics Question 8

Question 8 - 2021 (25 Feb Shift 1)

A diatomic gas, having $C_p = \frac{7}{2}R$ and $C_v = \frac{5}{2}R$, is heated at constant pressure. The ratio $dU : dQ : dW$ is :

(1) 03:07:02

(2) 05:07:02

(3) 05:07:03

(4) 03:05:02

Show Answer

Answer: (2)

Solution

$C_p = \frac{7}{2}R$, $C_v = \frac{5}{2}R$

$dU = nC_v dT$, $dQ = nC_p dT$, $dW = nRdT$

$dU : dQ : dW = C_v : C_p : R = \frac{5}{2}R : \frac{7}{2}R : R = 5 : 7 : 2$
