Question

Four moles of a perfect gas heated to increase its temperature by 2°C absorbs heat of 40 cal at constant volume. If the same gas is heated at constant pressure the amount of heat supplied is, (R=2 cal/mol K)

Easy
Solution

\Delta {Q_v} = du = n{c_v}\Delta T \Rightarrow 40 = 4 \times {c_v} \times 2

\therefore {c_v} = 5cal/mol\,K

\therefore {c_p} - {c_v} = R

\therefore {c_p} = {c_v} + R

\therefore {c_p} = 5 + 2 = 7\,cal/mol\,K

\Delta {Q_p} = n{c_p}\Delta T = 4 \times 7 \times 2 = 56\,cal
