For constant-volume processes the heat capacity of gas A is greater than the heat capacity of gas B. We conclude that when they both absorb the same energy as heat at constant volume:
A. the temperature of A increases more than the temperature of B
B. the temperature of B increases more than the temperature of A
C. the internal energy of A increases more than the internal energy of B
D. the internal energy of B increases more than the internal energy of A
E. A does more positive work than B
Answer: B. the temperature of B increases more than the temperature of A
