JEE Main 2025 — 24 January, Morning Shift — Question 71

The temperature of 1 mole of an ideal monoatomic gas is increased by 50∘C50^{\circ} \mathrm{C} at constant pressure. The total heat added and change in internal energy are E1E_{1} and E2E_{2}, respectively. If E1E2=x9\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=\frac{x}{9} then the value of xx is \qquad .

Answer: 15

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

Given that process is isobaric ΔT=50∘C\Delta \mathrm{T}=50^{\circ} \mathrm{C} Q in isobaric process =nCpΔT=E1=\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{p}} \Delta \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{E}_{1} ΔU\Delta \mathrm{U} in isobaric process =nCvΔT=E2=\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{v}} \Delta \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{E}_{2} ∴E1E2=CpCv=γ\therefore \frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\gamma Given, gas is monoatomic

∴γ=1+2f=1+23=53\begin{aligned} \therefore \gamma & =1+\frac{2}{\mathrm{f}} & =1+\frac{2}{3} & =\frac{5}{3} \end{aligned}

Now, as per question.

53=x9x=15\begin{aligned} & \frac{5}{3}=\frac{x}{9} & x=15 \end{aligned}
