An ideal diatomic gas, with molecular rotation but without any molecular oscillation, loses a certain amount of energy as heatQ. Is the resulting decrease in the internal energy of the gas greater if the loss occurs in a constant-volume process or in a constant-pressure process?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The resulting decrease in the internal energy is greater in constant volumeprocess

Step by step solution

01

Stating thegiven data

An ideal diatomic gas with molecular rotation but without any molecular oscillation loses a certain amount of energy as heat.

02

Understanding the concept of the specific heat

We can write heat energy in terms of specific heat at constant volume and at constant pressure. Equating and inserting specific heats in terms of R, we can get the relation between the temperature changes in both cases. Then, using its relationship with change in the internal energy, we can find the process in which the resulting decrease in the internal energy is greater.

Formulae:

Energy transferred as heat to the body at constant pressure,Q=nCpT 鈥(颈)

Energy transferred as heat to the body at constant volume,Q=nCvT鈥(颈颈)

Value of specific heat at constant pressure,Cp=72R 鈥(颈颈颈)

Value of specific heat at constant volume,Cv=52R 鈥(颈惫)

Change in internal energy at constant processE=nCT,. 鈥(v)

03

Calculation of the process in decreasing internal energy

Using the value of equation (iii) in equation (i), we can get the heat at constant pressure for diatomic gas as follows:

Q=n72RTp 鈥(惫颈)

Using the value of equation (iv) in equation (ii), we can get the heat at constant volume for diatomic gas as follows:

Q=n52RTv 鈥(惫颈颈)

The heat released at constant pressure and constant volume process is thesame.

From equation (vi) and (vii), we can get the temperature relation as follows:

n52RTV=n72RTp5TV=7TpTv>Tp 鈥(惫颈颈颈)

As we know from equation (v), the change in internal energy is proportional to the change in temperature.

For constant pressure, the change in internal energy is given as:Eint,pTp.

For constant volume, the change in internal energy is given as:Eint,vTv.

According to equation (viii) and the above values, we can write

Eint,v>Eint,p

Hence,the change in the internal energy of the ideal diatomic gas is greater if the heat loss is at constant volume.
