The work of $146 \mathrm{~kJ}$ is performed in order to compress one kilo mole of gas adiabatically and in this process the temperature of the gas increases by $7^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The gas is $\left(\mathrm{R}=8.3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\right)$
  1. monoatomic
  2. diatomic
  3. triatomic
  4. a mixture of monoatomic and diatomic

Solution

$146=C_v \Delta T$ $\Rightarrow C_v=21 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{K}$
