One main difference between the heating of gases on the one hand and solids or liquids on the other is that . heating of gases depends not only on the temperature difference, but also on the process as well as the amount of gas present. heating of gases depends on temperature difference as well as the amount of gas present. specific heat is not defined for gases. heat cannot be exchanged with gases.

heating of gases depends not only on the temperature difference, but also on the process as well as the amount of gas present.

Explanation:

The work done when a gas is heated does not only depends on the initial and final states of the gas but also on the process used to achieve the change of state of the gas.

Several processes can be applied in changing the state of a gas such as; adiabatic process, isobaric process, isochoric process and isothermal process.

Hence, the heating of a gas, depends not only on the temperature difference, as well as the amount of gas present according to the ideal gas laws but also on the process used to achieve the change of state.

when 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l naoh was mixed in a calorimeter with 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l hcl, both initially at 20.0 °c, the temperature increased to 22.1 °c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 279 j/°c.

the equation for the reaction is:

naoh + hcl → nacl + h₂o
