    When an ideal gas \[(\gamma =5/3\]) is heated under constant pressure, then what percentage of given heat energy will be utilised in doing external work                                                                     [RPET 1999]

    A)            40 %                                         

    B)            30 %

    C)            60 %                                         

    D)            20 %

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta W}{\Delta Q}=1-\frac{\Delta U}{\Delta Q}=1-\frac{n{{C}_{V}}dT}{n{{C}_{P}}dT}\]            \[\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta W}{\Delta Q}=1-\frac{{{C}_{V}}}{{{C}_{P}}}=1-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{2}{5}=0.4\]
