QuestionThermodynamics / heat capacity

The amount of energy (per mole of a monoatomic gas) that will increase by increasing the temperature by one degree at constant volume is:

  1. (a) Cp – Cv
  2. (b) R/2
  3. (c) 3/2 R
  4. (d) Cv + R

Answer: (c) 3/2 R

Energy to raise 1 mol by 1 K at constant volume = Cv. For a monoatomic ideal gas, U = (3/2)RT → Cv = 3/2 R (≈ 12.5 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹) → (c).
