Question

Problem 51P

Starting with 2.50 mol of N2 gas (assumed to be ideal) in a cylinder at 1.00 atm and 20.0°C, a chemist first heats the gas at volume, adding 1.52 × 104 J of heat, then continues heating and allows the gas to expand at constant pressure to twice its original volume. (a) Calculate the final temperature of the gas. (b). Calculate the amount of work done by the gas. (c) Calculate the amount of heat added to the gas while it was expanding (d) Calculate the change in internal energy of the gas for the whole process.

Solution

Solution 51P

Step 1:

Ideal gas equation, PV = nRT

Where, P - Pressure of the gas

           V - Volume of the gas

           n - Number of moles of the gas

           R - Universal gas constant

           T - Temperature of the gas

Equation for heat, Q = nCVΔT

Where, CV - Specific heat capacity at constant volume

            ΔT - Change in temperature
