Q. On giving equal amount of heat at constant volume to $1\ mole$ of a monoatomic and a diatomic gas the rise in temperature
A) Monoatomic
B) Diatomic
C) Same for both
D) Can not be predicted
Explanation
(a) $(\mathrm{\Delta}Q)_{V} = C_{V}\mathrm{\Delta}T = \frac{f}{2}R\mathrm{\Delta}T$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{\Delta}T \propto \frac{1}{f}$
Also $f_{Mono} < f_{Dia} \Rightarrow (\mathrm{\Delta}T)_{Mono} > (\mathrm{\Delta}T)_{Dia}$
