Q. 70 calories of heat are required to raise the temperature of 2 moles of an ideal gas at constant pressure from 30C to 35C.The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the same sample of the gas through the same range at constant volume is (Gas constant = 1.99 cal/K-mole)

Solution:

As dQ = CPmT
\Rightarrow 70 = CP \times; 2(35 - 30)
\Rightarrow CP = 7 cal/mole/C
CV = CP - R
= 7 - 1.99 = 5.01 cal mol-1 C-1
∴ dQ = CVmT
= 5.01 2 (35 - 30) = 50.1 cal
