The ratio of work done by an ideal rigid diatomic gas to the heat supplied by the gas in an isobaric process is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2}{7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For an isobaric process,
\(\begin{array}{ll}
& \frac{\Delta \mathrm{Q}}{\Delta \mathrm{U}}=\frac{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}}=\frac{7}{5} \\
\therefore \quad & \frac{\Delta \mathrm{Q}-\Delta \mathrm{U}}{\Delta \mathrm{Q}}=\frac{7-5}{7} \quad \text { (Applying dividendo) } \\
\therefore \quad & \frac{\mathrm{W}}{\Delta \mathrm{Q}}=\frac{2}{7}
\end{array}\)
