When 80 J of heat is supplied to a gas at constant pressure, if the work done by the gas is 20 J, then the ratio of the specific heat capacities of the gas is

  1. A \(\frac{4}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{9}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{4}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \Delta U = Q_p - W = 80 \, \text{J} - 20 \, \text{J} = 60 \, \text{J} \) \( \gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} = \frac{Q_p}{\Delta U} = \frac{80 \, \text{J}}{60 \, \text{J}} = \frac{4}{3} \)
