Curves A and B describe the log P versus log V relation for helium, hydrogen, O3and PH3during adiabatic process. Curve C is for(A) He(B) H2(C) O3(D) PH3

Answer»

Explanation

(A) He

For an adiabatic process

= constant

or, log P +γlogV = constant

log P = -γlog V = constant

Thus the slope of log P versus log V graph is -γ. The value ofγis maximum for helium, a monoatomic gas.

Thus curve C should correspond to helium.
