The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratios \(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta U}\) and \(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta W}\) for an isobaric process, given that the ratio of molar heat capacities \(\frac{C_p}{C_V} = \gamma\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Isobaric Process:** In an isobaric process, the pressure remains constant. The heat added to the system (\(\Delta Q\)) can be expressed in terms of the molar heat capacity at constant pressure (\(C_p\)) and the change in temperature (\(\Delta T\)): \[ \Delta Q = n C_p \Delta T \] 2. **Finding \(\Delta U\):** The change in internal energy (\(\Delta U\)) for an ideal gas can be expressed in terms of the molar heat capacity at constant volume (\(C_V\)): \[ \Delta U = n C_V \Delta T \] 3. **Calculating the Ratio \(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta U}\):** Now, we can find the ratio of heat added to the change in internal energy: \[ \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta U} = \frac{n C_p \Delta T}{n C_V \Delta T} \] The \(n\) and \(\Delta T\) terms cancel out, so we have: \[ \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta U} = \frac{C_p}{C_V} \] Given that \(\frac{C_p}{C_V} = \gamma\), we find: \[ \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta U} = \gamma \] 4. **Finding \(\Delta W\):** The work done (\(\Delta W\)) in an isobaric process can be expressed as: \[ \Delta W = P \Delta V = n R \Delta T \] where \(R\) is the universal gas constant. 5. **Calculating the Ratio \(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta W}\):** Now, we can find the ratio of heat added to the work done: \[ \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta W} = \frac{n C_p \Delta T}{n R \Delta T} \] Again, the \(n\) and \(\Delta T\) terms cancel out: \[ \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta W} = \frac{C_p}{R} \] 6. **Using the Relation Between Heat Capacities:** We know that: \[ C_p = C_V + R \] Therefore: \[ \frac{C_p}{R} = \frac{C_V + R}{R} = \frac{C_V}{R} + 1 \] 7. **Expressing \(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta W}\) in terms of \(\gamma\):** Using the relation \(\frac{C_p}{C_V} = \gamma\), we can express \(C_V\) in terms of \(\gamma\) and \(R\): \[ C_V = \frac{R}{\gamma - 1} \] Substituting this into our equation gives: \[ \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta W} = \frac{C_V}{R} + 1 = \frac{1}{\gamma - 1} + 1 = \frac{\gamma}{\gamma - 1} \] ### Final Results: - \(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta U} = \gamma\) - \(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta W} = \frac{\gamma}{\gamma - 1}\)

To solve the problem, we need to find the ratios \(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta U}\) and \(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta W}\) for an isobaric process, given that the ratio of molar heat capacities \(\frac{C_p}{C_V} = \gamma\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Isobaric Process:** In an isobaric process, the pressure remains constant.
