An insulated system contains 4 moles of an ideal diatomic gas at temperature \(T\). When a heat \(Q\) is supplied to the gas, 2 moles of the gas is dissociated into atoms and the temperature remained constant.Then the relation between \(Q\) and \(T\) is (\(\mathrm{R}=\) universal gas constant.)
  1. \(Q=R T\)
  2. \(Q=2 R T\)
  3. \(Q=3 R T\)
  4. \(Q=4 R T\)

Solution

Given, number of moles of an ideal diatomic gas at the temperature, \(T=4\) When heat \(Q\) is supplied to the gas, 2 mole of the gas is dissociated into atoms and the temperature remains constant, therefore heat supplied = change in its internal energy i.e., \(Q=\Delta u=\left(u_f-u_i\right)\) or \(Q=\) (internal energy of 4 moles of a monatomic gas + internal energy of 2 moles of diatomic gas) (internal energy of 4 moles of a diatomic gas) \(\begin{aligned} & =\left(4 \times \frac{3}{2} R T+2 \times \frac{5}{2} R T\right)-\left(4 \times \frac{5}{2} R T\right) \\ & =6 R T+5 R T-10 R T=R T \end{aligned}\)
