P-V plots for two gases during adiabatic...

P-V plots for two gases during adiabatic processes are shown in the figure. Plots 1 and 2 should corresponds respectively to

A

`He` or `O_2`

B

`O_2` and `He`

C

`He` and `Ar`

D

`O_2` and `N_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Higher value of `gamma`, curve is more steeper
For monoatomic gas, `gamma_1=1.67`, for diatomic gas
`gamma_2=1.4`
`gamma_1gtgamma_2` i.e., Curve `2rarr` Monoatomic gas
curve `1rarr` Diatoamic gas
