Water

Liquids: Sound travels faster in liquids than in gases because molecules are more tightly packed. In fresh water, sound waves travel at 1,482 meters per second (about 3,315 mph). That's well over 4 times faster than in air!

Ideal gas (n 2.388 moles) is heated at constant volume from T1 299.5 K to final temperature T2 369.5 K. Calculate the work and h

bija089 [108]

Answer : The work, heat during the process and the change of entropy of the gas are, 0 J, 3333.003 J and -10 J respectively.

Explanation :

(a) At constant volume condition the entropy change of the gas is:

$\Delta S=-n\times C_v\ln \frac{T_2}{T_1}$

We know that,

The relation between the $C_p\text{ and }C_v$ for an ideal gas are :

$C_p-C_v=R$

As we are given :

$C_p=28.253J/K.mole$

$28.253J/K.mole-C_v=8.314J/K.mole$

$C_v=19.939J/K.mole$

Now we have to calculate the entropy change of the gas.

$\Delta S=-n\times C_v\ln \frac{T_2}{T_1}$

$\Delta S=-2.388\times 19.939J/K.mole\ln \frac{369.5K}{299.5K}=-10J$

(b) As we know that, the work done for isochoric (constant volume) is equal to zero. $(w=-pdV)$

(C) Heat during the process will be,

$q=n\times C_v\times (T_2-T_1)=2.388mole\times 19.939J/K.mole\times (369.5-299.5)K= 3333.003J$

Therefore, the work, heat during the process and the change of entropy of the gas are, 0 J, 3333.003 J and -10 J respectively.
