Q63 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (12 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

A diatomic gas with rigid molecules does 10 J of work when expanded at constant pressure. What would be the heat energy absorbed by the gas, in this process?

  • A
    40 J
  • Correct answer
    B
    35 J
  • C
    25 J
  • D
    30 J

Solution

Cp=72R (for diatomic gas)
ΔQ=nCpΔT ∴Isobaric process
ΔW=nRΔT=10 J
Given
∴ΔQ=n×72RΔT=72×10=35 J nRΔT=10 J

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
