Thermodynamic Processes

How much heat energy in joule must be supplied to 1414 g of nitrogen at room temperature to raise its temperature by 40∘40^\circC at constant pressure?

(molecular wt. of nitrogen = 2828 g, RR = gas constant) (gas is diatomic)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. n=1428=0.5n = \dfrac{14}{28} = 0.5 mol; diatomic Cp=72RC_p = \dfrac{7}{2}R.
  2. Q=nCpΔT=0.5×72R×40Q = nC_p\Delta T = 0.5 \times \dfrac{7}{2}R \times 40
  3. Q=70RQ = 70R, so the answer is (c).
