A sample of an ideal gas \(\left(\gamma=\frac{5}{3}\right)\) is heated at constant pressure. If 100J of heat is supplied to the gas , the work done by the gas is

  1. A 150 J
  2. B 60 J
  3. C 40 J
  4. D 250 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 40 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(W = Q \frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma}\) \(W = 100 \text{ J} \times \frac{\frac{5}{3} - 1}{\frac{5}{3}}\)
