An ideal gas is heated from 50°C to 80°C (a) at constant volume and (b) at constant pressure. For which case do you think the energy required will be greater? Why?

What will be an ideal response?


For the constant pressure case. This is because the heat transfer to an ideal gas is mcp?T at constant pressure and mcv?T at constant volume, and cp is always greater than cv.
