\(306 \mathrm{~J}\) of heat is required to raise the temperature of 2 moles of an ideal gas at constant pressure from \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the same gas through the same range at constant volume is
  1. \(306 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. \(153 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. \(140 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. \(80 \mathrm{~J}\)

Solution

Given, at constant pressure heat \(Q_p=306 \mathrm{~J}\) Number of mole, \(n=2\) \(\begin{aligned} \Delta T & =T_2-T_1 \\ & =35-25=10^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \end{aligned}\) We know that, \(Q_p=n C_p \Delta T\) \(\begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow & 306=2 C_p \times 10 \\ \Rightarrow & C_p=\frac{306}{2 \times 10} \\ \Rightarrow & C_p=15.3 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{K} \end{array}\) According to Mayer's formula, \(\begin{aligned} & C_p-C_V =R \\ \Rightarrow & C_V =C_p-R=15.3-8.314 \\ \Rightarrow & C_V =6.986 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{K} \end{aligned}\) The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of gas at constant volume through same range of temperature. \(\begin{aligned} Q_V & =n C_V \Delta T \\ & =2 \times 6.986 \times(35-25) \\ & =2 \times 6.986 \times 10 \\ & =139.72 \simeq 140 \mathrm{~J} \end{aligned}\)
