A container holds a mixture of three non reacting gases:2.40 molof gas 1 withCV1=12.0J/(mol.K),1.50molof gas 2 withCV2=J/(mol.K)andof gas 3 withCV3=20.0J/(mol.K). What isCVof the mixture?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of of CVthe mixture is.15.8Jmol.K

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Mole,

n1=2.40″¾´Ç±ôn2=1.50″¾´Ç±ôn3=3.20mol

Specific heat capacity at constant volume;

CV1=12.0 J/mol.KCV2=12.8 J/mol.KCV3=20.0 J/mol.K

02

Understanding the concept

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

Q=nCVΔT

Here Q is the amount of energy transferred to gas, n is the number of moles, Cvis the specific heat capacity at constant volume andΔT is the temperature difference.

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

W=pΔV

Here W is the work done by the gas, P is the pressure andΔV is the change in the volume.

03

Calculate the value of CV  of the mixture

According to the first law of thermodynamics

ΔEint=Q-W…… (i)

But, work done by the gas is

W=PΔV=0……. (ii)

From equation (i) and equation (ii)

∴ΔEint=Q

We know that,

Q=nCVΔT

∴ΔEint=nCVΔT……. (iii)

Change in the internal energy of the mixture is

ΔEint=(n1CV1+n2CV2+n3CV3)ΔT=((2.40×12.0)+(1.50×12.8)+(3.20×20.0))ΔT=112ΔT

Substitute112ΔT forΔEint into the equation (iii)

∴CV=112n

Substitute the value of total number of moles

CV=1122.40+1.50+3.20=15.77≈15.8Jmol.K

Therefore, the value of of CVthe mixture is 15.8Jmol.K.

When the US submarine Squalus became disabled at a depth of, a cylindrical chamber was lowered from a ship to rescue the crew. The chamber had a radius of1 mand a height of4 m, was open at the bottom, and held two rescuers. It slid along a guide cable that a diver had attached to a hatch on the submarine. Once the chamber reached the hatch and clamped to the hull, the crew could escape into the chamber. During the descent, air was released from tanks to prevent water from flooding the chamber. Assume that the interior air pressure matched the water pressure at depth h as given byrole="math" localid="1662369677002" p0+Òϲµ³ó, wherep0=1.000atm

is the surface pressure andÒÏ=1024 kgm3is the density of sea water.

Assume a surface temperature of20°Cand a submerged water temperature of-30°C.

  1. What is the air volume in the chamber at the surface?
  2. If air had not been released from the tanks, what would have been the air volume in the chamber at depth h =80.0 m?
  3. How many moles of air were needed to be released to maintain the original air volume in the chamber?

Suppose 1.80″¾´Ç±ôof an ideal gas is taken from a volume of 3.00″¾3to a volume of 1.5 m3via an isothermal compression at30°C
