The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the thermodynamic process described by the equation \( V T^2 = \text{constant} \), where \( V \) is the volume and \( T \) is the temperature of an ideal monoatomic gas. We will derive the molar heat capacity and other properties step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Given Relation**: We start with the relation \( V T^2 = C \), where \( C \) is a constant. This implies that as the volume \( V \) changes, the temperature \( T \) must change in such a way that the product \( V T^2 \) remains constant. 2. **Expressing Pressure**: For an ideal gas, we can use the ideal gas law: \[ PV = nRT \] Rearranging gives us: \[ P = \frac{nRT}{V} \] 3. **Substituting for Temperature**: From the relation \( V T^2 = C \), we can express \( T \) as: \[ T = \sqrt{\frac{C}{V}} \] 4. **Substituting \( T \) in the Pressure Equation**: Now substituting \( T \) into the pressure equation, we have: \[ P = \frac{nR \sqrt{\frac{C}{V}}}{V} = \frac{nR \sqrt{C}}{V^{3/2}} \] This shows that \( PV^{3/2} = \text{constant} \). 5. **Identifying the Process**: The equation \( PV^{n} = \text{constant} \) indicates that this is a polytropic process where \( n = \frac{3}{2} \). 6. **Calculating Molar Heat Capacity**: The molar heat capacity \( C \) for a polytropic process is given by: \[ C = C_V + \frac{R}{n - 1} \] For a monoatomic ideal gas, \( C_V = \frac{3R}{2} \). Substituting \( n = \frac{3}{2} \): \[ C = \frac{3R}{2} + \frac{R}{\frac{3}{2} - 1} = \frac{3R}{2} + \frac{R}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{3R}{2} + 2R = \frac{7R}{2} \] 7. **Interpreting the Result**: The calculated molar heat capacity \( C = \frac{7R}{2} \) indicates that when heat is supplied to the gas, the temperature will increase, which contradicts the earlier assumption of a negative heat capacity. 8. **Coefficient of Volume Expansion**: To find the coefficient of volume expansion \( \beta \), we use the relation: \[ \beta = \frac{\Delta V/V}{\Delta T/T} \] From the relation \( V T^2 = C \), we differentiate: \[ dV \cdot T^2 + V \cdot 2T \cdot dT = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{dV}{V} = -2 \frac{dT}{T} \] Thus, the coefficient of volume expansion is: \[ \beta = -2 \frac{1}{T} \] ### Final Answers - The molar heat capacity \( C \) is \( \frac{7R}{2} \). - The coefficient of volume expansion \( \beta \) is \( -\frac{2}{T} \).
