Question

The heat supplied to one mole of an ideal mono atomic gas in increasing temperature from  T0 to 2T0 is 2RT0. Find the equation of process to which the gas follows.

Moderate
Solution

Heat supplied to the  gas Q=nCΔT  for poly tropic process molar heat capacity is given by

C=R(γ1)+R(1N)=R531+R(1N)=32R+R(1N)Q=n3R2+R(1N)2T0T0=(1)RT053N2(1N)=2RT0                            given 53N=4(1N)

N = -1
Hence equation of process,  PV1=constant
