One mole of an ideal gas is taken through an adiabatic process where the temperature rises from \(27^{\circ} {C}\) to \(37^{\circ} {C}\). If the ideal gas is composed of polyatomic molecule that has \(4\) vibrational modes which of the following is true?

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Work done on the gas is close to \(582\, J\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For an ideal gas, each vibrational mode, corresponds to two degrees of freedom, hence, \({f}=3\) (trans.) \(+3(\) rot. \()+8(\) vib. \()=14\)

\(\gamma=1+\frac{2}{f}\)

\(\gamma =1+\frac{2}{14}=\frac{8}{7}\)

\(W =\frac{n R \Delta T}{\gamma-1}=-582\)

As \({W}\,<\,0\). Work is done on the gas.
