    If the ratio of specific heats of a gas at constant pressure to that at constant volume is y, the change in internal energy of a gas, when tlie volume changes from V to 2V at constant pressure p, is

    A)  \[pV\]                                 

    B)  \[\frac{R}{y-1}\]

    C)  \[\frac{pV}{y-1}\]                          

    D)  \[\frac{y\,pV}{y-1}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     The change in internal energy at constant pressure is                 \[dU=\frac{1}{\gamma -1}\,({{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}-{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}})\] Given,   \[{{V}_{1}}=V\]    \[{{V}_{2}}=2\,V\],  \[{{p}_{1}}={{p}_{2}}=p\] \[\therefore \]  \[dU=\frac{1}{\gamma -1}[\,p2V-pV]\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[dU=\frac{pV}{\gamma -1}\]
