One mole of an ideal gas is taken through an adiabatic process where the temperature rises from 27°C to 37°C. If the ideal gas is composed of polyatomic molecule that has 4 vibrational modes, which of the following is true? R=8.314 J mol-1k-1
  1. work done by the gas is close to 332 J
  2. work done on the gas is close to 582 J
  3. work done by the gas is close to 582 J
  4. work done on the gas is close to 332 J

Solution

Since, each vibrational mode, corresponds to two degrees of freedom, hence, f=3 (trans.) +3( rot. )+8( vib. )=14

&  γ=1+2f

γ=1+214=87

W=nRΔTγ-1=-582

As W<0. work is done on the gas.
