Answer:
a) The energy transferred is 6.91 kJ
b) The internal energy is 4.90 kJ
c) The work done on the gas is - 2.01 kJ
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Number of moles of hydrogen gas = 2.00 moles
Pressure = constant
Temperature is heated from 294 K to 414 K
Molar heat capacity of hydrogen gas = 28.8 J/mol*K
Step 2: Calculate the energy transferred to the gas by heat.
Q = n* Cp * ΔT
⇒with Q =the energy transferred
⇒with n = the number of moles = 2.00 moles
⇒with Cp = the Molar heat capacity of hydrogen gas = 28.8 J/mol*K
⇒ with ΔT = Temperature 2 - Temperature 1 = 414 - 294 = 120K
Q = 2.00 * 28.8 * 120
Q = 6912 J = 6.91 kJ
Step 3: Calculate the increase in its internal energy.
ΔEint = n*Cv*ΔT
⇒with ΔEint = the increase in its internal energy.
⇒with n = the number of moles = 2.00 moles
⇒with Cv = The constant volume = 20.4 J/mol*K
⇒with ΔT = Temperature 2 - Temperature 1 = 414 - 294 = 120K
ΔEint = 2.00 * 20.4 * 120
ΔEint =4896 J = 4.90 kJ
Step 4: Calculate the work done on the gas.
Work done on the gas = -Q + ΔEint
W = -6.91 kJ + 4.90 kJ
W = -2.01 kJ
