One mole of an ideal gas requires 207 J heat to raise the temperature by 10 K, when heated at constant pressure. If the same gas is heated at constant volume to raise the temperature by 10 K, then heat required is [given gas constant. R = 8.31/(mol -K)]

One mole of an ideal gas requires 135 J of heat to raise its temperature by 15 ^@ K when heated at constant pressure. If the same gas is heated at constant volume to raise the temperature by the same, then the heat required will be (R = 8.3J /mole ^@K)

When a gas is heated at constant pressure, its volume changes and hence
