    When an ideal monoatomic gas is heated at constant pressure, fraction of heat energy supplied which increases the internal energy of gas, is                                            [AIIMS 1995]

    A)            \[\frac{2}{5}\]                      

    B)            \[\frac{3}{5}\]

    C)            \[\frac{3}{7}\]                      

    D)            \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       For monoatomic gas                    \[\gamma =\frac{{{C}_{P}}}{{{C}_{V}}}=\frac{5}{3}\] we know \[\Delta Q=n{{C}_{P}}\Delta T\]            and \[\Delta U=n{{C}_{V}}\Delta T\]Þ \[\frac{\Delta U}{\Delta Q}=\frac{{{C}_{V}}}{{{C}_{P}}}=\frac{3}{5}\] i.e. fraction of heat energy to increase the internal energy be 3/5.
