Solution

The correct option is C 9000cal
Since the gas is enclosed in a cylinder, volume is constant.
We have,
(ΔQ)V=nCVΔT
Number of moles, n=massmolecular weight=0.056×10328.
Since nitrogen is diatomic molecule, there are 3 translational + 2 rotational degree of freedom,
CV=(52)R
We have vT (v2=3kTm)
v2v1=T2T1=2
T2=4T1
ΔT=4T1T1=3T1
T1=27+273=300K
ΔT=3×300=900K
Therefore,
(ΔQ)V=2×52×2×900
(ΔQ)V=9000cal
