If the ratio of specific heat of a gas of constant pressure to that at constant volume is `gamma`, the change in internal energy of the mass of gas, when the volume changes from `V` to `2V` at constant pressure `p` is

A

`(R)/(gamma-1)`

B

`PV`

C

`(PV)/((gamma-1))K`

D

`(T-4)K`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`DeltaW=P(2V-V)=PV`
`DeltaW=PDeltaV=nRDeltaT`( if P: constant)
`nRDeltaT=PV`
`DeltaU=nC_VDeltaT=(nRDeltaT)/(gamma-1)=(PV)/(gamma-1)`
