Heat is supplied to a diatomic gas at constant pressure. Then the ratio of \(\Delta Q : \Delta U : \Delta W\) is _______.

  1. A \(2 : 3 : 5\)
  2. B \(5 : 3 : 2\)
  3. C \(2 : 5 : 7\)
  4. D \(7 : 5 : 2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(7 : 5 : 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a diatomic gas, the number of degrees of freedom is \(f = 5\). The molar heat capacity at constant volume is \(C_v = \dfrac{f}{2}R = \dfrac{5}{2}R\). The molar heat capacity at constant pressure is \(C_p = C_v + R = \dfrac{7}{2}R\). At constant pressure, the heat supplied is…
