Question:

One mole of an ideal monatomic gas undergoes a process described by the equation PV3 = constant. The heat capacity of the gas during this process is : 

Options:

\(\frac{3}{2}R\)

\(\frac{5}{2}R\)

\(2R\)

\(R\)

Correct Answer:

\(R\)

Explanation:

PV3 = constant ; ⇒ n = 3

C = Cv + \(\frac{R}{1 - n}\)

   = \(\frac{R}{r - 1}\) + \(\frac{R}{1 - n}\)

r = 5/3 

⇒ C = R
