Step by step solution

01

Given

  • Change in temperature isΔT=15.0‿é
  • The number of moles of gasn=2.00″¾´Ç±ô
02

Understanding the concept

The expression for the amount of energy transferred to the gas is given by,

Q=nCPΔT

Here Qis the amount of energy transferred to gas,n is the number of moles, Cpis the specific heat capacity at constant pressure and ΔTis the temperature difference.

The expression for the work done by the gas is given by,

W=pΔV

Here Wis the work done by the gas, pis the pressure andΔV is the change in the volume.

03

(a) Calculate the work W done by the gas

Work done by the gasW;

Since the process is a constant-pressure

W=pΔV

Using ideal gas equation,

W=nRΔT=(2mol)(8.31Jmol.K)(15‿é)=249 J

Therefore the work done by the gas is249 J .

04

(b) Calculate the energy transferred as heat Q

The energy transferred as heatQ;

For mono-atomic gasf=3 ,

CV=32R

CP=CV+R

Substitute32R forCV into the above equation,

⇒CP=52R

The molar specific heatCPof a gas is defined as

CP=QnΔT

Solving forQ,we get

Q=nCPΔT

Q=(2mol)(52)(8.31Jmol.K)(15‿é)=623 J

Therefore the energy transferred as heatQ is 623 J.

05

(c) Calculate the changeΔEint   in the internal energy of the gas

The change intheinternal energy of the gasΔEint;

Fromthefirst law of thermodynamics,

Q=Δ Eint+WΔEint=Q-W

Substitute623 J forQ and249 J forW into the above equation.

ΔEint=623 J−249 J=374 J

Therefore the change in the internal energy of the gas is 374 J.

06

(d) Calculate the change ΔK in the average kinetic energy per atom

The change intheaverage kinetic energy per atom ΔKavg;

The change in average kinetic energy per atom is given as

ΔKavg=ΔEintN

HereNis the Avogadro number and is given by6.023×1023per mole.

We have2of an ideal gas.

N=2×6.023×103=12.046×1023

Substitute12.046×1023 forN into the above equation

Δ°­avg=37412.046×1023J=3.11×10−22J

Therefore the change intheaverage kinetic energy of gas is3.11×10−22J.

Question: A container encloses 2 mol of an ideal gas that has molar mass M1 and 0.5 mol of a second ideal gas that has molar mass m2 = 3 .m1 What fraction of the total pressure on the container wall is attributable to the second gas? (The kinetic theory explanation of pressure leads to the experimentally discovered law of partial pressures for a mixture of gases that do not react chemically: The total pressure exerted by the mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that the several gases would exert separately if each were to occupy the vessel alone.)

A gas is to be expanded from initial state i to final state f along either path 1or path 2on a PV diagram. Path1 consists of three steps: an isothermal expansion (work is40 Jin magnitude), an adiabatic expansion (work isin magnitude), and another isothermal expansion (work is20 Jin magnitude). Path2 consists of two steps: a pressure reduction at constant volume and an expansion at constant pressure. What is the change in the internal energy of the gas along path 2?

An ideal monatomic gas initially has a temperature of 330Kand a pressure of 6.00atm. It is to expand from volume 500cm3to volume1500cm3. If the expansion is isothermal, what are (a) the final pressure and (b) the work done by the gas? If, instead, the expansion is adiabatic, what are (c) the final pressure and (d) the work done by the gas?

A certain amount of energy is to be transferred as heat to 1 mol of a monatomic gas (a) at constant pressure and (b) at constant volume, and to 1 mol of a diatomic gas (c) at constant pressure and (d) at constant volume. Figure 19-19 shows four paths from an initial point to four final points on a p-v diagram for the two gases. Which path goes with which process? (e) Are the molecules of the diatomic gas rotating?
