A cylinder of fixed capacity of 44.8 litres contains helium gas at standard temperature and pressure. The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of gas in the cylinder by 20.0 C will be : (Given gas constant R = 8.3 JK 1-mol 1)
- A249 J
- B415 J
- C498 J
- D830 J
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Identify the process
The cylinder has fixed capacity, so the gas is heated at constant volume.
Hence, heat supplied is
For helium, which is a monoatomic ideal gas,
- Find the number of moles of helium
At STP, mole of any ideal gas occupies L.
Given volume:
So,
- Temperature rise
Given increase in temperature:
- Compute the heat required
Using
Substitute values:
- Match with the options
So the correct option is C.
