The constant volume heat capacity of a gas can be measured by observing the decrease in temperature when it expands adiabaticall

y and reversibly. If the decrease in pressure is also measured, we can use it to infer the value of γ = Cp/Cv and hence, by combining the two values, deduce the constant-pressure heat capacity. A fluorocarbon gas was allowed to expand reversibly and adiabatically to twice its volume; as a result, the temperature fell from 298.15 K to 248.44 K and its pressure fell from 202.94 kPa to 81.840 kPa.

Answer:

The value is  C_p  = 42. 8 J/K\cdot mol

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     \gamma = \frac{C_p }{C_v}

The  initial volume of the  fluorocarbon gas is  V_1 = V

 The final  volume of the fluorocarbon gas isV_2 = 2V

  The initial  temperature of the fluorocarbon gas is  T_1  =  298.15 K

  The final  temperature of the fluorocarbon gas is T_2  =  248.44 K

   The initial  pressure is P_1  = 202.94\  kPa

    The final   pressure is  P_2  =  81.840\  kPa

Generally the equation for  adiabatically reversible expansion is mathematically represented as

       T_2 =  T_1  * [ \frac{V_1}{V_2} ]^{\frac{R}{C_v} }

Here R is the ideal gas constant with the value  

        R =  8.314\  J/K \cdot mol

So  

   248.44 =   298.15  * [ \frac{V}{2V} ]^{\frac{8.314}{C_v} }

=> C_v  =  31.54 J/K\cdot mol

Generally adiabatic reversible expansion can also be mathematically expressed as

    P_2 V_2^{\gamma} = P_1 V_1^{\gamma}

=>[ 81.840 *10^3] [2V]^{\gamma} = [202.94 *10^3] V^{\gamma}    

=>  2^{\gamma} =  2.56

=>    \gamma =  1.356

So

     \gamma  =  \frac{C_p}{C_v} \equiv  1.356 = \frac{C_p}{31.54}

=>    C_p  = 42. 8 J/K\cdot mol

What is clch2ch2ch2oh when oxidized?
Maksim231197 [3]
The first step of the oxidation of a primary alcohol involves conversion to an aldehyde via the elimiination of a hydrogen molecule. Thus, ClCH2CH2CH2OH becomes ClCH2CH2COH, which is 3-chloropropanal.
