Solution

The correct option is A (a) 13.064 kJmol1 (b) 10.587 kJmol1
Given,

T1=25oC,P=1 bar

Ideal gas equation,

PV=nRT
Since, pressure is constant-

V1T1=V2T2

V2=2V1 T2=2T1=50oC=323K

CP=22.34+48.1×103T

ΔH=n=1nCPdT=T2T1(22.34+48.1×103T)dT=22.34×9298+48.1×103×298×32×298

(a) ΔH=13.064kJ/mole

W=P(V2V1)=nR(T2T1)

W=2.477 KJ

ΔU=(13.0642.477)KJ

(b) ΔU=10.587kJ

Option (A) is correct.
