X and Y are two equal size containers. X contains a gas A at a temperature `75^@ `C and Y contains a gas B at a temperature `40^@ `C. Each gas behaves as an ideal gas and specific heat at constant pressure for both gases has the same value.
It can be concluded that the

A

internal energy of a gas in container X is more than that of the gas in container Y.

B

internal energy of a gas in container X is less than that of the gas in container Y.

C

internal energy of a gas in container X could be more or could also be less than that of the gas in container Y.

D

internal energy of a gas in container X has the same value as that of the gas in container.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the information given about the two gases in containers X and Y. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information**: - Container X contains gas A at a temperature of \(75^\circ C\). - Container Y contains gas B at a temperature of \(40^\circ C\). - Both gases behave as ideal gases. - The specific heat at constant pressure (\(C_P\)) for both gases is the same. 2. **Understanding Internal Energy**: - The internal energy (\(U\)) of an ideal gas can be expressed in terms of the number of moles (\(n\)), the specific heat at constant volume (\(C_V\)), and the change in temperature (\(\Delta T\)): \[ \Delta U = n C_V \Delta T \] - Since \(C_P\) is the same for both gases, we can infer that \(C_V\) will also be the same for both gases, given that \(C_P - C_V = R\) (where \(R\) is the universal gas constant). 3. **Calculating Temperature Changes**: - The temperature of gas A is \(75^\circ C\) and that of gas B is \(40^\circ C\). - The change in temperature for gas A compared to a reference point (let's say \(0^\circ C\)) is \(75\) degrees. - The change in temperature for gas B is \(40\) degrees. - Therefore, we can say: \[ \Delta T_A = 75 - 0 = 75 \quad \text{and} \quad \Delta T_B = 40 - 0 = 40 \] 4. **Comparing Internal Energies**: - Since both gases have the same \(C_V\) and the same number of moles (assuming equal volumes and ideal gas behavior), the internal energy changes can be compared: \[ \Delta U_A = n C_V \Delta T_A = n C_V (75) \] \[ \Delta U_B = n C_V \Delta T_B = n C_V (40) \] - From this, we can see that the internal energy change for gas A is greater than that for gas B because \(75 > 40\). 5. **Conclusion**: - However, we cannot definitively conclude that the internal energy of gas A is greater than that of gas B without knowing the number of moles or the molecular weight of each gas. The internal energy could be greater, less, or equal depending on the molecular weights of gases A and B. - Therefore, the conclusion is that the internal energy of gas A may be greater than, less than, or equal to the internal energy of gas B. ### Final Answer: The internal energy of gas A may be greater than, less than, or equal to the internal energy of gas B. ---
