    A diatomic ideal gas undergoes following two steps process, Step 1 Constant volume heating to triple pressure of gas. Step 2 Constant pressure heating to double volume Molar heat capacity of the gas for whole process is

    A) \[\frac{5}{4}R\]                        

    B) \[\frac{31}{30}R\]

    C) \[\frac{27}{32}R\]                     

    D) \[\frac{30}{25}R\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In first process,
    \[\Delta Q=\Delta U+0\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{C}_{V}}\Delta T=\frac{R}{\gamma -1}\cdot \Delta T\]
    Also, \[pV=RT\]and \[3pV=R\,(T+\Delta T)\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[2pV=R\Delta T\]
    \[\therefore \]\[2RT=R\Delta T\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\Delta T=2T\]
    Hence, final temperature is 3T.
    In second process,
                \[(3p)V=R(3T)\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[{{T}_{\text{Final}}}=\frac{6RT}{R}=6T\]
    and  \[\Delta Q={{C}_{V}}(6T-3T)+3\phi \,(2V-V)\]               
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[\Delta Q={{C}_{V}}3T+{{3}_{P}}V\]
    \[=\frac{R\,(3T)}{\gamma -1}+3RT\]
    So, total heat given is
    \[{{Q}_{\text{Total}}}=\frac{R(2T)}{\gamma -1}+\frac{R(3T)}{\gamma -1}+3RT\]
    \[=\frac{5RT}{\gamma -1}+3RT\]
    As, \[{{Q}_{\text{Total}}}=C\,(6T-T)\]
    We have,
    \[5C=\frac{5R}{\gamma -1}+3R\]
    \[=\frac{R}{7/5-1}+\frac{3}{5}R=\frac{31}{30}R\]
