What amount of heat must be supplied to 35 g of oxygen at room temperature to raise its temperature by 80°C at constant volume (molecular mass of oxygen is 32 and
R = 8.3 J mol–1 k–1)
A
1.52 kJ
B
3.23 kJ
C
1.81 kJ
D
1.62 Kj
Answer
1.81 kJ
Explanation
Solution
: here mass of oxygen (m) = 35g
Molar mass of O2(M)=32 g mol−1
Rise in temperature, ΔT=80∘C
n=Mm=3235=1.09 mol
As oxygen is diatomic gas, then molar specific heat at constant volume is CV=25R
And amount of heat supplied to gas
ΔQ=nCVΔT
=1.09×25R×80=1.09×25×8.3×80 =1809.4J=1.8094KJ≈1.81Kj
