Chapter 19 Problem 52P

Question

Nitrogen gas in an expandable container is cooled from 50.0o C to 10.0o C with the pressure held constant at 3.00 X 105 Pa. The total heat liberated by the gas is 2.50 X 104 J. Assume that the gas may be treated as ideal. Find (a) the number of moles of gas; (b) the change in internal energy of the gas; (c) the work done by the gas. (d) How much heat would be liberated by the gas for the same temperature change if the volume were constant?

Solution

Solution 52P Problem (a) To find number of moles n Step 1: Initial Temperature of the gas T 1 = 50°C Final Temperature of the gas T 2 = 10°C Change in temperature dT = T - T2 1 = -40°C Constant pressure applied P = 3.00 x 10 Pa The total heat liberated by the gas Q = -2.50 x 10 J (Heat flows out of the gas)
