When an ideal monoatomic gas is heated at constant pressure, the fraction of the heat energy supplied which increases the internal energy of the gas is
2 / 5
3 / 5
3 / 7
5 / 7
B.
3 / 5
By first law of thermodynamics
ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW
Where ΔQ = Heat supplied to the system by the surroundings
ΔW = Work done by the system on the surroundings
ΔU = change in internal energy of the system
= nRT + P
Q = nRT + PV
Q = nRT + nRT ( PV = nRT )
=
Q = nRT
Fraction of heat energy supplied increase the internal energy.
∴ Fraction of heat energy supplied
