Q136 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2023 (12 May Shift 1) · Physics

The percentage of heat supplied to a diatomic ideal gas that is converted into work in an isobaric process is

  • A
    $62.7$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $71.4$
  • C
    $28.6$
  • D
    $34.6$

Solution

For isobaric process, $\Delta \mathrm{p}=0$ $\begin{aligned} & \Delta \mathrm{W}=0 \\ & \Delta \mathrm{U}=\Delta \mathrm{Q}-\Delta \mathrm{W} \\ & =\Delta \mathrm{Q} \\ & \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}} \mathrm{dT}=\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}} \mathrm{dT} \\ & \frac{\Delta \mathrm{U}}{\Delta \mathrm{Q}}=\frac{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}}=\frac{\frac{5}{2} \mathrm{R}}{\frac{7}{2} \mathrm{R}}=\frac{5}{7} \end{aligned}$ The percentage of heat supplied into work $\begin{aligned} & =\frac{5}{7} \times 100 \\ & =71.4 \% \end{aligned}$

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