A) \[\frac{2}{f}\]
B) \[1+\frac{2}{f}\]
C) \[1+\frac{f}{2}\]
D) \[f+\frac{1}{2}\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
According to law of equipartition of energy, the internal energy associated per degree of freedom is \[\frac{1}{2}\]= kT, where k is the Boltzmann's constant. Thus, internal energy associated per molecule \[=f\frac{1}{2}kT\] If \[{{N}_{A}}\] is Avagadro's number, then internal energy of one mole of an ideal gas is \[U={{N}_{A}}\,f\,\frac{1}{2}\,kT\] \[=\frac{1}{2}f\,({{N}_{A}}k)T\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\,f\,RT\] where \[R={{N}_{A}}k=\]gas constant \[{{C}_{V}}=\frac{dU}{dT}\] \[=\frac{d}{dT}\left( \frac{1}{2}fRT \right)\] \[=\frac{1}{2}fR\] Molar heat capacity at constant pressure \[{{C}_{p}}={{C}_{v}}+R(Mayor's\,relation)\] \[=\frac{1}{2}f\,R+R\] \[=\left( \frac{1}{2}f+1 \right)R\] \[Hence,\gamma =\frac{{{C}_{p}}}{{{C}_{v}}}\] \[=\frac{\left( \frac{1}{2}f+1 \right)R}{\frac{1}{2}f\,R}\] \[=\frac{\left( \frac{1}{2}f+1 \right)}{\frac{1}{2}f}=1+\frac{2}{f}\]You need to login to perform this action.
