A tank with a constant volume of 3.72 m3 contains 22.1 moles of a monatomic ideal gas. The gas is initially at a temperature of 300 K. An electric heater is used to transfer 4.5 × 104 J of energy into the gas. It may help you to recall that CV = 12.47 J/K/mole for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to Avagadros number (6.022 × 1023) times the number of moles of the gas. a) What is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added?___K

b) What is the change in pressure of the gas?Pa

c) How much work was done by the gas during this process?J

a) 463.29 K

b) 8065.65 Pa

c) 0 J

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Volume of the tank, V = 3.72 m³

Number of moles of gas present in the tank, n = 22.1 moles

Temperature of the gas before heating, T₁ = 300 k

Heat added to the gas, ΔQ = 4.5 × 10⁴ J

Specific heat capacity at constant volume, , for monatomic gas = 12.47 J/K/mole

Avogadro's number = 6.022 × 10²³ particles per mole

a) ΔQ = n × × ΔT

Where:

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₂ = Final temperature of the gas

Hence, by plugging in the values, we have;

4.5 × 10⁴ = 22.1 × 12.47 × (T₂ - 300)

T₂ = 300 + 163.29 = 463.29 K

b) The pressure of the gas is found from the relation;

P×V = n×R×T

Where:

P = Pressure of the gas

R = Universal gas constant = 8.3145 J/(mol·K)

T = Temperature of the gas

V = Volume of the gas = 3.72 ³ (constant)

n = Number of moles of gas present = 22.1 moles (constant)

Hence the change in pressure is given by the relation;

Plugging in the values, we have;

c) Work done, W, by the gas is given by the area under the pressure to volume graph which gives;

W = f(P) × ΔV

The volume given in the question is constant

∴ ΔV = 0

Hence, W =  f(P) × 0 = 0 J

No work done by the gas during the process.

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
