Physics Question on kinetic theory
Heat absorbed by a mass of 1 g of helium, when its temperature rises from 11∘C to 131∘C at constant volume, is H. Heat absorbed by 7 g of nitrogen, when its temperature rises from 11∘C to 71∘C at constant volume, is HN . The ratio of H to HN is
A
23
B
34
C
56
D
78
Answer
56
Explanation
Solution
Heat absorbed at constant volume H=nCVΔT where, n= number of moles =Mm Heat absorbed by helium H=41×23R(131−11) =41×23R×120 =45R [For the (monoatomic gas), CV=23R ] Heat absorbed by nitrogen HN=287×25R(71−11) =41×25R×60 =275R [For H2 (diatomic gas) CV=25R ] HNH=(75/2)R45R=56
