A monatomic ideal gas in a rigid container is heated from 206 K to 335 K by adding 8280 J of heat. How many moles of gas are there in the container?

Respuesta :

Answer: 5.14 moles

Explanation:

heat supplied:  8280 J

The formula used for heat absorbed by an ideal gas:

[tex]q=n\times C_v\times (T_2-T_1)[/tex]

where,

q = heat absorbed = 8280 J

[tex]C_v[/tex] = for monoatomic gas = [tex]\frac{3}{2}R[/tex]

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/Kmol

[tex]T_1[/tex] = initial temperature = 206 K

[tex]T_2[/tex] = final temperature  = 335 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula,

[tex]8280J=n\times \frac{3}{2}\times (8.314J/Kmol)\times (335-206)K[/tex]

[tex]n=5.14[/tex]

Thus there are 5.14 moles of gas in the container.
