Question

Two moles of a monoatomic ideal gas $[U = \frac{3}{2} n R T]$ is enclosed in an adiabatic vertical cylinder fitted with a smooth light adiabatic piston. The piston is connected to a vertical spring of spring constant 200 N/m as shown in figure. The area of cross-section of the cylinder is $20.0 c m^{2}$ . Initially, the spring is at its natural length and temperature of the gas is 300K. The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. The gas is heated slowly for some time by means of an electric heater so as to move the piston up through 10 cm.

The quantity of heat supplied by the heater is:

793 J

Solution

The correct option is A 793 J
The internal energy is : $U = (\frac{3}{2}) n R T$

$∴ d U = (\frac{3}{2}) n R Δ T$

$= 1.5 \times (2.0 m o l) \times (8.3 J / m o l - K) \times (31 K) = 772 J$

Hence, according to first law of thermodynamics,
$Δ Q + Δ U + Δ W = 772 J + 21 J = 793 J$

The correct option is A 793 JThe internal energy is : U=(32)nRT ∴dU=(32)nRΔT =1.5×(2.0mol)×(8.3J/mol−K)×(31K)=772 J Hence, according to first law of thermodynamics, ΔQ+ΔU+ΔW=772 J+21 J=793 J

The correct option is A 793 J
The internal energy is : $U = (\frac{3}{2}) n R T$
