For a disatomic ideal gas in a closed system, which of the following plots does not correctly describe the relation between various thermodynamic quantities?
(A)(see structure)
(B)(see structure)
(C)(see structure)✓ Correct
(D)(see structure)
Answer: (C)
Solution
For an ideal gas the molar heat capacity at constant pressure, CP, is set only by the temperature and the molecule's degrees of freedom; it does not change when the pressure is varied at fixed temperature. A graph that shows CP rising or falling with pressure therefore misrepresents the behaviour of an ideal gas, so that is the plot which does not correctly describe the relationship.
