Q7 of 65 Page 76

The molar heat capacity for the process shown in the figure is


Given : which gives us


pVg = K, where p = pressure, V = volume, and g and K are constants. This represents an adiabatic process.


In an adiabatic process, Q(heat exchanged) = 0.


Now we know that Q = nCdT,


where n = number of moles, C = specific molar heat capacity and dT = rise in temperature.


Since Q = 0, we get C = 0.


Hence, the correct option is (d).
