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

Which corresponds to the composition of the ion typically formed by magnesium?
nekit [7.7K]
The ion composition of Magnesium is 12,10, 2+.
Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and an atomic number 12, it has 12 protons, and 12 electrons with a chemical configuration of 2:8:2. It requires to loose two electrons to form a stable configuration forming a cation (positively charged ion) with a charge of +2 and  a configuration of 2:8 ( 12 protons and 10 electrons).

Use the half-reactions of the reaction Au(OH)3 + HI -&gt; Au +I2 +H2O to answer the questions
kirill115 [55]
Enter an equation of a chemical reaction and click 'Balance'. The answer will appear below
Always use the upper case for the first character in the element name and the lower case for the second character. Examples: Fe, Au, Co, Br, C, O, N, F. Compare: Co - cobalt and CO - carbon monoxide
To enter an electron into a chemical equation use {-} or e
To enter an ion specify charge after the compound in curly brackets: {+3} or {3+} or {3}.
Example: Fe{3+} + I{-} = Fe{2+} + I2
Substitute immutable groups in chemical compounds to avoid ambiguity.
For instance equation C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced,
but PhC2H5 + O2 = PhOH + CO2 + H2O will
Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required.
If you do not know what products are enter reagents only and click 'Balance'. In many cases a complete equation will be suggested.
