The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the molar specific heat of the gas at constant pressure (C_p) during an adiabatic process, given the volume (V_0), absolute temperature (T_0), and the slope (m) of the V-T curve. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Adiabatic Process**: - In an adiabatic process, there is no heat exchange with the surroundings, which means \(Q = 0\). - According to the first law of thermodynamics, we have: \[ dQ = dU + dW \] Since \(dQ = 0\), it follows that: \[ dU + dW = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad dU = -dW \] 2. **Expressing Work Done (dW)**: - The work done in a process can be expressed as: \[ dW = P dV \] - Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ dU = -P dV \] 3. **Differentiating Internal Energy (U)**: - The change in internal energy \(dU\) can be expressed in terms of temperature: \[ dU = C_V dT \] - Therefore, we have: \[ C_V dT = -P dV \] 4. **Using the Slope of the V-T Curve**: - The slope of the V-T curve is given as \(m\), which is defined as: \[ m = \frac{dV}{dT} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ dV = m dT \] 5. **Substituting dV in the Internal Energy Equation**: - Substituting \(dV\) into the equation for \(dU\): \[ C_V dT = -P (m dT) \] - Dividing both sides by \(dT\) (assuming \(dT \neq 0\)): \[ C_V = -P m \] 6. **Using the Ideal Gas Law**: - From the ideal gas law, we know: \[ PV = nRT \] - Rearranging gives: \[ P = \frac{nRT}{V} \] - Substituting this into the equation for \(C_V\): \[ C_V = -\left(\frac{nRT}{V}\right) m \] 7. **Finding the Molar Specific Heat at Constant Pressure (C_p)**: - The relationship between \(C_p\) and \(C_V\) is given by: \[ C_p = C_V + R \] - Substituting \(C_V\) into the equation: \[ C_p = -\left(\frac{nRT}{V}\right) m + R \] 8. **Final Expression**: - We can express \(C_p\) in terms of \(T_0\) and \(V_0\): \[ C_p = -\left(\frac{nRT_0}{V_0}\right) m + R \] - Rearranging gives: \[ C_p = m \frac{T_0}{V_0} + R \] ### Final Result: Thus, the molar specific heat of the gas at constant pressure is: \[ C_p = m \frac{T_0}{V_0} + R \]
