An amount `Q` of heat is added to a monoatomic ideal gas in a process in which the gas performs work `Q/2` on its surrounding. Find the molar heat capacity for the process.A. `2R`B. `3R`C. `4R`D. `6R`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
First law of thermodynamics `Q = W + Delta U`
`Q = Q/2 + Delta U`
`implies Delta U = 3nRDeltaT`
`implies nCDeltaT = 3nRDeltaT`
`C = 3R`
