5 mol of hydrogen gas is heated from 30°C to 60°C at constant pressure. The heat given to the gas is (given ):
1
750 cal
2
630 cal
3
1050 cal
4
1470 cal
Official Solution
Correct Option: (3)
Step 1: Use the formula for heat capacity at constant pressure. The heat required to raise the temperature of a gas at constant pressure is given by the formula:
where:
- is the number of moles of the gas,
- is the molar heat capacity at constant pressure,
- is the change in temperature. Step 2: Apply the given values. We are given the following values:
- (number of moles of hydrogen gas),
- (molar heat capacity),
- (change in temperature). Now, substitute these values into the formula:
Step 3: Perform the multiplication. First, calculate the product:
Step 4: Conclusion.
Thus, the heat given to the gas is:
