Q7 / 46 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Kinetic Theory of Gases

For the same rise in temperature of one mole of gas at constant volume, the heat required for a non-linear triatomic gas is K times that required for monatomic gas. The value of K is

  • A
    1
  • B
    0.5
  • Correct answer
    C
    2
  • D
    2.5

Solution

For a non-linear triatomic gas, Cv=3R

And for a monoatomic gas, Cv ′=32R

∴  QQ′=CvCv ′=K=3R32R=2

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