What are the values of ΔU and ΔH when 10 dm3 of Helium at NTP is heated in a cylinder to 100∘ C, assuming that the gas behaves ideally. (CV = 32 R)
We know that
Δ U = nCVΔ T
No of moles of Helium = 10 dm322.4dm3
CV = (32)R
ΔT = 100
Δ U = 1022.4 × 32 × 8.314 × 100
Δ U = 556.74 J
Now we know that Δ H = n.CP.Δ T
CP − CV = R
CP − 32R = R
CP = 52 R
∴ Δ H = 1022.4 × 52 × 8.314 × 100
∴ Δ H = 927.9 J
