A total of 48 J heat is given to one mole of helium kept in a cylinder. The temperature of helium increases by 2 C. The work done by the gas is: Given, R = 8.3 J K-1 mol-1.
- 23.1 J
- 48 J
- 24.9 J
- 72.9 J
Answer
(1) 23.1 J
Solution
Helium is monatomic ⇒ CV = 32R
U = nCV T = 1 32 8.3 2 = 24.9 J
First law: Q = U + W
W = 48 - 24.9 = 23.1 J
Answer: (1)
