We give70 Jas heat to a diatomic gas, which then expands at constant pressure. The gas molecules rotate but do not oscillate. By how much does the internal energy of the gas increase?

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Heat energy given to a diatomic gas isQ=70J

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 and ΔTis the temperature difference.

03

Calculate by how much the internal energy of the gas increases

ΔEint=nCVΔT

But, for diatomic gas,CV=52R

Hence,

ΔEint=52nRΔT …… (i)

Also,Q=nCPΔT

But, for diatomic gasCP=72R

Hence,

Q=72nRΔTnRΔT=27Q

Substitute27Qfor nRΔTinto the equation (i)

ΔEint=5227Q

Substitute70 J for Q into the above equation,

⇒ΔEint=50 J

Therefore, the increase in the internal energy is50J.

Question: Container A in figure holds an ideal gas at a pressure of 5.0×105Paand a temperature of 300 kIt is connected by a thin tube (and a closed valve) to container B, with four times the volume of A. Container B holds the same ideal gas at a pressure of 1.0×105Paand a temperature of 400 k. The valve is opened to allow the pressures to equalize, but the temperature of each container is maintained. What then is the pressure?

In the p-V diagram of Fig.19−17, the gas does5Jof work when taken along isotherm ab and 4Jwhen taken along adiabatic. What is the change in the internal energy of the gas when it is taken along the straight path from a to c?

One mole of an ideal diatomic gas goes from a to c along the diagonal path in figure. The scale of the vertical axis is set bypab=5.0 kPaand pc=2.0 kPa, and the scale of the horizontal axis is set by Vbc=4.0m3andVa=2.0 m3. During the transition,

a) What is the change in internal energy of the gas

b) How much energy is added to the gas as heat?

c) How much heat is required if the gas goes from ato calong the indirect path abc?

Suppose 12.0gof oxygen (O2) gas is heated at constant atmospheric pressure from25.0∘Cto125.0∘Cto.

  1. How many moles of oxygen are present?
  2. How much energy is transferred to the oxygen as heat? (The molecules rotate but do not oscillate).
  3. What fraction of heat is used to raise the internal energy of the oxygen?

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.)
