JEE Main 2024 — Kinetic Theory of Gases Question with Solution

JEE Main 2024 (30 Jan Shift 1)

Question

Two thermodynamical process are shown in the figure. The molar heat capacity for process A and B are CA and CB. The molar heat capacity at constant pressure and constant volume are represented by CP and CV, respectively. Choose the correct statement.

Correct answer
ACP>CB>CV

Step-by-step explanation

For process A:

logP=γlogV⇒P=Vγ,(γ>1)

PV-γ= Constant

CA=CV+R1+γ …i

Likewise, for process B→PV-1= Constant

CB=Cv+R1+1

CB=Cv+R2 …ii

Also, CP=Cv+R …iii

By ii and iii, we get

CP>CB>Cv
