Q.

10 moles of a van der Waals' gas are subjected to a process from 2L, 300 K to 2I, 350 K.

Given : Cym=20J/moleK, b=0.04L/mole

Cpm=30J/moleK, a= negligible 

Calculate H (in KJ ).

[GIven : R=0.08 litre atm K1mol1 I litre aim = 100 J]

Detailed Solution

ΔU=nCvmΔT for real gas at constant volume.

ΔU=10×20×50

ΔU=10kJ

 For van der Waals' gas H=U+PV

ΔH=ΔU+Δ(PV) as volume is constant. 

ΔH=ΔU+VΔP

To find  change in pressure 

P+an2V2(Vnb)=nRT

a=0

P(Vnb)=nRT

P=nRTVnb

dP=nRdt(Vnb)

=10×0.08×50210×0.04

=25atm

ΔH=10kJ+2×25 litre atm 

ΔH=15kJ
