Step by step solution

01

Stating the given data

The heat transferred to the monatomic gas Is Q if the number of moles is n=1mol.

02

Understanding the concept of internal energy and specific heat

Using the relation between specific heat and internal energy of monatomic and diatomic gas, we can find the relation between monatomic gas volume and diatomic gas volume at a constant pressure. After that, we can find the relation between the monatomic and diatomic gas temperatures at a constant volume; from that, we can answer the above questions.

Formulae:

Work done by the gas at constant press pv=nRT sure, W=vivfpdv …(¾±)

Change in internal energy at constant volume,ΔEint=nCvΔT …(¾±¾±)

Ideal gas equation for n number of mol,…(iii)

According to first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy is given by

ΔE=Q-W …(¾±±¹)

Δ·¡=nCvΔ°Õ

(a) Calculation of the path of monatomic gas at constant pressure

For monatomic gas:

The value of specific heat at constant volume is Cv=32R

The value of specific heat at constant pressure is Cp=52R

For diatomic gas:

The value of specific heat at constant volume is Cv=52R.

The value of specific heat at constant pressure is Cp=72R.

Change in internal energy is and work done is, W=pΔV.

Substituting the values of work from equation (i) and change in internal energy from equation (ii) in equation (iv), we get

nCvΔT=Q-pΔVQ=nCvΔT+pΔV …(±¹)

Now, using equation (iii), we get the value of change in temperature as follows:

ΔT=pΔVnR

Putting this value in equation (v), we get the equation of heat as

Q=nCvpΔVnR+pΔV=CvR+1pΔV …(±¹¾±)

For monatomic gas, using the given values in equation (vi), we can get the heat as follows:

Q=32RR+1pΔVm(where subscript m is for monoatomic gas)=52pΔVm …(±¹¾±¾±)

Similarly, using the given values in equation (vi), we can get the heat for diatomic gas as follows:

Q=52RR+1pΔVd(where subscript d is for diatomic gas)=72pΔVd …(±¹¾±¾±¾±)

Now, from equations (vii) and (viii), we get the volume relation as

52pΔVm=72pΔVd5Vm=7Vd

That means the volume of monatomic gas is greater than the volume of diatomic gasΔVm>ΔVd

For any constant volume process

W=0

Thus, the value of heat is given by equation (v) as follows: Q=nCvΔT.

For monatomic gas, the value of heat is given using the value of specific heat by

Q=n32RΔT …(¾±³æ)

For diatomic gas, the value of heat is given using the value of specific heat by

Q=n52RΔT …(³æ)

Now equating (ix) and (x), we can write the temperature relation as follows:

n32RΔTm=n52RΔTd3ΔTm=5ΔTd

i.e.,Tm>TD

From the graph, we can conclude that for a mono atomic gas at constant pressure, path 3 is related with a monatomic gas. From condition ΔVm>ΔVd, we can say that path 3 is related with an isobaric process.

04

(b) Calculation of the path of monatomic gas at constant volume

From the graph, we can conclude that for a mono atomic gas at constant volume, path 1 is related with a mono atomic gas. From condition, Tm>TD, we can say that is related with an isochoric process.

05

(c) Calculation of the path of diatomic gas at constant pressure

From the graph, we can conclude that for a diatomic gas at constant pressure, is related with a diatomic gas. From condition, Vm>Vd, we can say that is related with an isobaric process.

06

(d) Calculation of the path of diatomic gas at constant volume

From the graph, we can conclude that for a diatomic gas at constant volume, path 2 is related with a diatomic gas. From condition, Tm>TD,we can say that is related with an isochoric process.

07

(e) Calculation of the behavior of the diatomic gas

The molecule of diatomic gas is rotating because Tm>TD, because some of the heat Q provided is going to the rotational energy in the diatomic gas molecule.

Thus, the molecules of diatomic gases are rotating.
