A work of 146 kJ is performed on the gas, in order to compress one kilomole of gas adiabatically and in this process the temperature of the gas increases by 7 °C. The gas is ( R = 8. 3 J mol -1 K -1 )
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
According to first law of thermodynamics
Q = 
U + 
W
For an adiabatic process, 
Q=0
0 = 
U + 
W
or 
U = - 
W
or nC V 
T = - 
W
or 
For diatomic gas,
Hence the gas is diatomic.
