Correct answer: D
Step-by-step Solution
-
Identify the Given Information
- Number of moles of helium gas,
n = 2mol. - Initial temperature, .
- Final temperature, .
- The gas is Helium, which is a monatomic ideal gas.
- The balloon is fully expandable and requires no energy for expansion. This implies the process occurs at constant pressure (isobaric process), where the internal pressure is always equal to the constant external atmospheric pressure.
- The universal gas constant,
R = 8.31J/mol.K.
- Number of moles of helium gas,
-
Calculate the Change in Temperature () The change in temperature can be calculated in Celsius or Kelvin, as the difference is the same.
-
Determine the Molar Specific Heat at Constant Pressure () For a thermodynamic process at constant pressure, the heat required is given by .
- Helium (He) is a monatomic gas. For a monatomic ideal gas, the molar specific heat at constant volume () is given by:
- The molar specific heat at constant pressure () is related to by Mayer's relation:
- Substituting the expression for for a monatomic gas:
-
Calculate the Amount of Heat Required (Q) Now, we can substitute the values into the formula for heat supplied in an isobaric process: Plugging in the given values:
-
Compare with the Options The calculated amount of heat is
207.75 J. This value is approximately208 J.- A: 62 J
- B: 104 J
- C: 124 J
- D: 208 J
The closest option is D.
Conclusion
The amount of heat required in raising the temperature is nearly 208 J.
