The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the molar heat capacity \( C \) of an ideal gas undergoing a specific process where the coefficient of volume expansion \( \gamma \) varies with absolute temperature \( T \) as given by the relation \( \gamma = \frac{2}{T} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Coefficient of Volume Expansion**: The coefficient of volume expansion \( \gamma \) is defined as: \[ \gamma = \frac{1}{V} \left( \frac{dV}{dT} \right) \] Given that \( \gamma = \frac{2}{T} \), we can equate this to the definition: \[ \frac{dV}{dT} = \gamma V = \frac{2V}{T} \] 2. **Rearranging the Equation**: We can rearrange the equation to express \( dV \): \[ dV = \frac{2V}{T} dT \] 3. **Applying the First Law of Thermodynamics**: According to the first law of thermodynamics: \[ dq = du + dw \] Where: - \( dq \) is the heat added to the system, - \( du \) is the change in internal energy, - \( dw \) is the work done by the system. We can express these in terms of molar heat capacities: \[ dq = nC dT, \quad du = nC_V dT, \quad dw = P dV \] 4. **Substituting for Work Done**: The work done \( dw \) can be expressed as: \[ dw = P dV = P \left( \frac{2V}{T} dT \right) \] Using the ideal gas law \( PV = nRT \), we can substitute \( P \): \[ P = \frac{nRT}{V} \] Therefore: \[ dw = \frac{nRT}{V} \cdot \frac{2V}{T} dT = 2nR dT \] 5. **Combining the Equations**: Now substituting \( du \) and \( dw \) back into the first law: \[ nC dT = nC_V dT + 2nR dT \] Dividing through by \( n dT \) (assuming \( dT \neq 0 \)): \[ C = C_V + 2R \] 6. **Final Result**: Thus, the molar heat capacity \( C \) in this process is given by: \[ C = C_V + 2R \] ### Conclusion: The correct answer is \( C = C_V + 2R \), which corresponds to option number 3 in the provided choices.
