The volume (V) of a monatomic gas varies with its temperature (T), as shown in the graph. The ratio of work done by the gas, to the heat absorbed by it, when it undergoes a change from state A to state B, is : |
\(\frac{2}{5}\) \(\frac{2}{3}\) \(\frac{2}{7}\) \(\frac{1}{3}\) |
\(\frac{2}{5}\) |
The process is isobaric : dQ = n Cp dT = n \(\frac{5}{2}R\) dT dW = P dV = n R dT \(\frac{dW}{dQ}\) = \(\frac{n R dT}{n (\frac{5}{2} R) dT}\) = \(\frac{2}{5}\) |
