STANDARD Physics First Law of Thermodynamics MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Heat is supplied to a diatomic gas at pressure. The ratio of ΔQ : ΔU : W is

A

5 : 3 : 2

B

7 : 5 : 2

C

2 : 3 : 5

D

2 : 5 : 7

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

For a diatomic gas, C_v = 5/2 R, C_p = 7/2 R. ΔQ = nC_pΔT = n(7/2)RΔT, ΔU = nC_vΔT = n(5/2)RΔT, W = ΔQ - ΔU = nRΔT. Therefore, ΔQ : ΔU : W = 7 : 5 : 2.
