Gas Laws & Ideal Gas Equation

A cylinder of fixed capacity of 44.8 litres contains helium gas at standard temperature and pressure. The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of gas in the cylinder by 20.0∘^\circC will be: (Given gas constant R = 8.3 JK−1{}^{-1}-mol−1{}^{-1})

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. At STP, n=44.822.4=2n = \frac{44.8}{22.4} = 2 mol of helium.
  2. Fixed volume, monatomic gas: CV=32RC_V = \frac{3}{2}R.
  3. Q=nCVΔT=2×32×8.3×20=498 JQ = nC_V\Delta T = 2 \times \frac{3}{2} \times 8.3 \times 20 = 498\text{ J}.
  4. So the answer is (c) 498 J.
