Q.
Consider 35g of oxygen at room temperature. Calculate the heat that needs to be supplied to raise it's temperature by 80∘C at constant volume. (molecular weight of oxygen is 32 and R=8.3Jmol−1K−1 )
Here mass of oxygen (m)=35g
molar mass of O2 (M)=32g(mol)−1
rise in temperature, ΔT=80℃ ∴numberofmolesn=Mm=3235=1.09mol
As oxygen is a diatomic gas, then molar specific heat at constant volume is CV=25R
and amount of heat supplied to gas ΔQ=nCVΔT=1.09×25R×80=1.09×25×8.3×80 =1809.4J=1.8094kJ=1.81kJ
