The change in the internal energy of the mass of gas, when the volume changes from V to 2 V at constant pressure P is \(\left(\gamma=\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{P}} / \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{V}}\right)\)

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{P}(\gamma-1)}\)
  2. B \(\frac{P}{V(\gamma-1)}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\gamma+1}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\gamma-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\gamma-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta T = \frac{P(2V) - PV}{nR} = \frac{PV}{nR}\) \(\Delta U = nC_V \Delta T = nC_V \left(\frac{PV}{nR}\right) = \frac{C_V}{R} PV\)
