One mole of an ideal gas (Cv=20JK−1mol−1) initially at STP is heated at constant volume to twice the initial temperature. For the process, work done (w) and q will be :
A
w=0;q=5.46kJ

Solution
The correct option is Aw=0;q=5.46kJ As volume is constant so work done is zero, w=−P△V=P×0=0 heat absorbed at constant volume is given as qv=nCv(△T) n=1 Cv=20JK−1mol−1 now △T=T2−T1=546−273=273K (as at STP, T=273K) so, qv=20×273=5460J=5.46kJ
