Solution

The correct option is D 83.14 J/K
From first law, ΔU=q+w
For a constant volume system, w = 0 and ΔU=nCvdT = heat at constant volume
where n is the number of moles of the gas
Similarly, ΔH=nCpdT = Heat at constant pressure
We know, Cp Cv = R for 1 mole of a gas
Similarly, Cp Cv = nR for n mole of a gas
Cp Cv =10×8.314 J mol1 K1
= 83.14 J/K
