Question : 2 of 10
Marks: +1, -0
What amount of heat must be supplied to 2.0×1022.0 \times 10^{-2} kg of nitrogen (at room temperature) to raise its temperature by 45°C at constant pressure? (Molecular mass of N2=28;R=8.3Jmol1K1.)N_2 = 28; R = 8.3 \, \mathrm{J} \, \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \, \mathrm{K}^{-1}.)
Solution:  
Mass of nitrogen gas, m=2×102kg=20gm=2\times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{kg}=20 \, \mathrm{g}
Molecular mass of nitrogen gas =28g=28 \, \mathrm{g}
Rise in temperature, ΔT=45C\Delta T=45^{\circ}\mathrm{C}
Heat supplied = ?
Number of moles n=mM=2028=57n=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{20}{28}=\frac{5}{7}
For nitrogen (N2)(\mathrm{N}_2) which is a diatomic gas, molar specific heat at constant pressure
Cp=72RC_{p}=\frac{7}{2} R where R=8.3Jmol1K1R=8.3 \, \mathrm{J} \, \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \, \mathrm{K}^{-1}
Therefore, heat supplied to the gas
ΔQ=nCpΔT\Delta Q=n C_{p} \Delta T
=57×72×R×45=\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times R \times 45
=57×72×8.3×45=\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times 8.3 \times 45
=933.8J934J=933.8 \, \mathrm{J} \approx 934 \, \mathrm{J}
