Physics Question on kinetic theory
7 mol of a certain monoatomic ideal gas undergoes a temperature increase of 40 K at constant pressure. The increase in the internal energy of the gas in this process is:
(Given R = 8.3 JK-1 mol-1)
A
5810 J
B
3486 J
C
11620 J
D
6972 J
Answer
3486 J
Explanation
Solution
The increase in the internal energy of the gas,
△U=nCv△T
△U=7×23R×40
△U=3486J
So, the correct option is (B): 3486 J
