Gas Laws & Ideal Gas Equation

A cylinder with fixed capacity of 67.2 lit contains helium gas at STP. The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the gas by 20°C is: [Given that R = 8.31 J mol–1 K–1]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. At STP, n=67.222.4=3n = \frac{67.2}{22.4} = 3 mol of helium.
  2. Fixed volume, monatomic gas: CV=32RC_V = \frac{3}{2}R.
  3. Q=nCVΔT=3×32×8.31×20≈748 JQ = nC_V\Delta T = 3 \times \frac{3}{2} \times 8.31 \times 20 \approx 748\text{ J}.
  4. So the answer is (c) 748 J.
