Question

Two containers hold equal masses of nitrogen gas at equal temperatures. You supply 10 J of heat to container A while not allowing its volume to change, and you supply 10 J of heat to container B while not allowing its pressure to change.
Afterward, is temperature TA greater than, less than, or equal to TB? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

TA is greater than TB

$T_{A}$ > $T_{B}$

Explanation:

Specific heat at constant pressure $C_{p}$ is greater than specific heat at constant volume $C_{v}$.Therefore for given amount of supplied heat,increase in temperature at constant volume is greater than increase in temperature at constant pressure

Hence

TA is greater than TB

$T_{A}$ > $T_{B}$
