Question:

When 1 mol gas is heated at constant volume temp. is raised from 298 to 308 K. Heat supplied to the gas is 500 J. Then which statement is correct : -

Updated On: Sep 16, 2024
  • q = w = 500 J, ∆U = 0
  • q = ∆U = 500J, w = 0
  • q = w = 500 J, ∆U = 0
  • ∆U = 0, q = w = – 500 J

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The correct options is(B): q = ΔU = 500 J, w = 0. This is because, in a process conducted at constant volume (isochoric process), no work is done (w = 0), and the heat added to the system (q) directly contributes to the change in internal energy (ΔU) of the gas.

Concepts Used:

Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat of a solid or liquid is the amount of heat that raises the temperature of a unit mass of the solid through 1°C.

Molar Specific Heat:

The Molar specific heat of a solid or liquid of a material is the heat that you provide to raise the temperature of one mole of solid or liquid through 1K or 1°C. 

Specific Heat at Constant Pressure or Volume:

The volume of solid remains constant when heated through a small range of temperature. This is known as specific heat at a constant volume. It is denoted as CV.

The pressure of solid remains constant when heated through a small range of temperature. This is known as specific heat at constant pressure which can be denoted as CP.
