Problem

N moles of a diatomic gas in a cylinder are at a temperature T. Heat is supplied to the cylinder such that the temperature remains constant but n moles of the diatomic gas get converted into monoatomic gas. What is the change in the total kinetic energy of the gas? (1) 12nRT\frac{1}{2}nRT (2) 0 (3) 32nRT\frac{3}{2}nRT (4) 52nRT\frac{5}{2}nRT
