7. Suppose you could suddenly increase the speed of every molecule in a gas by a factor of 2.

a. Would the temperature of the gas increase by a factor of 21/2,2or 22?Explain.

b. Would the molar specific heat at constant volume change? If so, by what factor? If not, why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) If the temperature of the gas increase by a factor of 21/2,2or 22then the temperature will increase by factor22.

b) A constant volume will result in the same molar-specific heat.

Step by step solution

01

Concept Introduction (Part a)

An observed gas's temperature is a function of the molecules' average translational kinetic energy.

02

Explanation (Part a)

Here vrmsT, then Tvrms2so doubling the speed of each molecule (which would double vrms) quadruples the temperature, which implies that the temperature increases by the factor of 22.

03

Final Answer (Part a)

Therefore, the temperature increases by the factor of22.

04

Concept Introduction (Part b) 

Molar specific heat at constant volume is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1moleof a gas through 1Kat constant volume, CV.

05

Explanation (Part b) 

Temperature increases when molecules double in speed.

It is not dependent on the speed of individual molecules but rather the characteristics of those molecules, e.g. whether they are monoatomic, diatomic etc.

The molar specific heat at constant volume is independent of all of this.

06

Final Answer (Part b) 

When the volume remains the same, the molar specific heat will remain the same.
