When an ideal diatomic gas is heated at constant pressure, the fraction of heat energy supplied which increases the internal energy of the gas is:

a
25
b
35
c
37
d
57

detailed solution

Correct option is D

amount of heat absorbed by gas at constant pressure is  dQ=nCpdT  increase in internal energy of gas is  dU=nCvdT  here m is mass of gas,   C is molar specific heat of gas,  dT is change in temperature∴fraction of heat energy supplied which increases the internal energy of the gas isdUdQ=CvCpdUdQ=5R/27R/2 substituting values for a diatomic gas  dUdQ=57.
