Q.

One mole of an ideal monatomic gas undergoes a process described by the equation PV3=constant. The heat capacity of the gas during this process is          [2016]
 

1 32R  
2 52R  
3 2R  
4 R  

Ans.

(4)

Process described by the equation,

PV3=constant

For a polytropic process, PVα=constant

         C=CV+R1-α=32R+R1-3=R
