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?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The number of moles of oxygen is 0.375 mol.
  2. The amount of energy transferred to the oxygen as heat is 1.09×103J
  3. The fraction of the heat that is used to raise the internal energy of the oxygen is 0.714

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Mass of oxygen is m=12.0g

Temperature;

Ti=25.0∘CTf=125.0∘C

02

Understanding the concept

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

Q=nCPΔT

Here Q is the amount of energy transferred to gas, n is the number of moles, CPis the specific heat capacity at constant pressure andΔTis the temperature difference.

The expression for the change in internal energy is given by,

ΔEint=nCVΔT

Here ΔEintis the change in internal energy, n is the number of moles, Cvis the specific heat capacity at constant volume,ΔT is the difference in temperature.

03

(a) Calculate how many moles of oxygen are present 

We know that,

Numberofmoles(n)=MassofthesampleMolarmassofthesample

It is given that the mass of the sample is 12.0g .

Now the molar mass of the oxygen (O2 )molecule is 32g .

n=12.032.0=0.375mol

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen is 0.375 mol.

04

(b) Calculate how much energy is transferred to the oxygen as heat

Using the equation of amount of energy transferred to the gas,

Q=nCPΔT…… (i)

But, for diatomic gas,CP==72R

Substitute 72Rfor CP into the equation (i)

localid="1662466707322" Q=72nRΔT

Substitute 0.375mol for n,8.3145J/mol.K for R,(125.0∘C-25∘C)forΔTinto the above equation, localid="1662614315121" Q=72(0.375)8.314)(125-25=1091=109×103]

Therefore, the amount of energy transferred to the oxygen as heat is 109×103J.

05

(c) Calculate what fraction of heat is used to raise the internal energy of the oxygen 

The equation for the change in internal energy is given by,

ΔEint=nCVΔT…… (ii)

But, for diatomic gasrole="math" localid="1662467172844" CV=52R

Substitute 5/2Rfor CVinto the equation (ii)

ΔEint=52nRΔT

Substitute0.375molfor n,8.3145J/mol⋅Kfor R, (125°C-25°C)forΔTinto the above equation,

ΔEint=520.3758.314125-25=779.44J

The ratio of the internal energy to the energy transferred to the oxygen

ΔEintQ=779.441091

=0.714

Therefore, the fraction of the heat that is used to raise the internal energy of the oxygen is 0.714.

In an industrial process the volume of25.0″¾´Ç±ôof a monatomic ideal gas is reduced at a uniform rate from0.616″¾3to0.308″¾3in2.00hwhile its temperature is increased at a uniform rate from27.0 °Cto450 °C. Throughout the process, the gas passes through thermodynamic equilibrium states. What are

(a) the cumulative work done on the gas,

(b) the cumulative energy absorbed by the gas as heat, and

(c) the molar specific heat for the process? (Hint: To evaluate the integral for the work, you might use∫a+bxA+Bx dx=bxB+aB−bAB2 In (A+Bx)an indefinite integral.) Suppose the process is replaced with a two-step process that reaches the same final state. In step 1, the gas volume is reduced at constant temperature, and in step 2 the temperature is increased at constant volume. For this process, what are

(d) the cumulative work done on the gas,

(f) What is the ratio of the squares of the speeds before and after the compression?

An ideal gas is taken through a complete cycle in three steps: adiabatic expansion with work equal to125 J, isothermal contraction at325K, and increase in pressure at constant volume.
