Thermodynamic Processes

When the temperature of 4 moles of a gas was increased from 70∘70^\circC to 90∘90^\circC, at constant volume, the change in internal energy was 6060 J. The total heat capacity of the gas at constant volume is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. At constant volume, ΔU=CVtotal ΔT\Delta U = C_V^{total}\,\Delta T.
  2. ΔT=90−70=20\Delta T = 90 - 70 = 20 K
  3. CVtotal=6020=3C_V^{total} = \frac{60}{20} = 3 J/K
  4. So the answer is (c) 33 J/K.
