Q74 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (10 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

When heat Q is supplied to a diatomic gas of rigid molecules, at constant volume its temperature increases by  ∆T . The heat required to produce the same change in temperature, at a constant pressure is:

  • A
    32Q
  • Correct answer
    B
    75Q
  • C
    53Q
  • D
    23Q

Solution

For diatomic gas CP=72R
CV=52R
Heat supplied at constant volume Q=nCVΔT
Heat supplied at constant pressure Q'=nCPΔT
QQ'=CVCP
Q'=QCPCV=75Q

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