Forty calories of heat is needed to raise the temperature of 1 mol of an ideal monatomic gas from 20oC to 30oC at a constant pressure. The amount of heat required to raise its temperature over the same interval at a constant volume R=2calmol1K1 is

a
20 cal
b
40 cal
c
60 cal
d
80 cal

detailed solution

Correct option is A

At constant pressure Qp=μCpΔT                                      =1×Cp×(30−20)=40cal⇒ Cp=4cal/mol−K∴ Cv=Cp−R=4−2=2cal/mol−K Now  Qv=μCvΔT=1×2×(30−20)=20cal
