The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation where a triatomic, diatomic, and monoatomic gas are supplied the same amount of heat at constant pressure. We will determine the fractional energy used to change the internal energy for each type of gas. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Process**: - The process is isobaric, meaning that the pressure remains constant while heat is added to the gas. 2. **Heat Supplied**: - Let the amount of heat supplied to each gas be \( Q \). 3. **Change in Internal Energy**: - For an isobaric process, the change in internal energy (\( \Delta U \)) can be expressed as: \[ \Delta U = n C_V \Delta T \] where \( n \) is the number of moles, \( C_V \) is the molar heat capacity at constant volume, and \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature. 4. **Molar Heat Capacity**: - The relationship between the molar heat capacities at constant pressure (\( C_P \)) and constant volume (\( C_V \)) is given by: \[ C_P = C_V + R \] where \( R \) is the universal gas constant. 5. **Degrees of Freedom**: - The degrees of freedom (\( F \)) for different types of gases are: - Monoatomic gas: \( F = 3 \) (3 translational) - Diatomic gas: \( F = 5 \) (3 translational + 2 rotational) - Triatomic gas: \( F = 6 \) (3 translational + 3 rotational) 6. **Calculating \( C_V \)**: - The molar heat capacity at constant volume can be expressed in terms of degrees of freedom: \[ C_V = \frac{F}{2} R \] - Therefore: - For monoatomic gas: \( C_V = \frac{3}{2} R \) - For diatomic gas: \( C_V = \frac{5}{2} R \) - For triatomic gas: \( C_V = \frac{6}{2} R = 3R \) 7. **Fractional Energy Used to Change Internal Energy**: - The fractional energy used to change internal energy is given by: \[ \text{Fraction} = \frac{\Delta U}{Q} = \frac{n C_V \Delta T}{Q} \] - Since \( Q \) is the same for all gases, we can analyze the fraction based on \( C_V \): \[ \text{Fraction} \propto C_V \] 8. **Comparison of Fractions**: - The proportionality of the fractions for each gas type is: - Monoatomic: \( \frac{3}{2} R \) - Diatomic: \( \frac{5}{2} R \) - Triatomic: \( 3R \) 9. **Conclusion**: - Since \( C_V \) is highest for the triatomic gas, the fractional energy used to change internal energy is maximum for the triatomic gas. ### Final Answer: The fractional energy used to change internal energy is maximum for the triatomic gas. ---
