equal volumes of monoatomic and diatomic gas are given equal quantities of heat at the same temperature . which gas will have higher temperature ? |

Answer» of both gases = V (initial and final), as we ASSUME they are in fixed containers.number of moles of each gas = n (assume)Initial temperature of both gases = TQuantity of heat given to each gas = QMono-atomic gas Ratio of specific heats = γ₁ = 5/3 Molar Heat capacity at constant volume = = 3/2 R Pressure initial = P₁ , final = P₁', Final temperature = T₁' P₁ V = n R T , P₁' V = n R T₁' => P₁' / P₁ = T₁' / TDiatomic gas ratio of specific heats = γ₂ = 7/5 Molar Heat capacity at constant volume = = 5/2 R pressure initial = P₂ , final pressure = P₂' , final temperature = T₂' P₂ V = n R T , P₂' V = n R T₂' => P₂' / P₂ = T₂' / T ==> P₂ = P₁ and P₂' / P₁' = T₂' / T₁'=================There is no change in volumes. Hence the WORK done W by each gas is zero. Q = ΔU + W Q = ΔU = change in internal energy = As molar heat capacity for the diatomic gas is more than that of monoatomic gas, the temperature INCREASE for the diatomic gas will be less. Thus, the mono-atomic gas will have higher temperature. |
