An ideal mono-atomic gas of given mass is heated at constant pressure. In this process, the fraction of supplied heat energy used for the increase of the internal energy of the gas is

  1. A \(3 / 8\)
  2. B \(3 / 5\)
  3. C \(3 / 4\)
  4. D \(2 / 5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3 / 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Fraction \(=\frac{\Delta U}{\Delta Q}=\frac{C_{Y}}{C_{p}}\) For monoatomic gas \(\frac{C_{p}}{C_{\gamma}}=\gamma=\frac{5}{3}\) So, \(\quad \frac{C_{\gamma}}{C_{p}}=\frac{1}{\gamma}=\frac{3}{5}\)
