A 15 g mass of nitrogen gas is enclosed in a vessel at a temperature 27°C. A amount of heat transferred to the gas, so that rms velocity of molecules is doubled, is about: [Take R = 8.3 J/K mole]

  1. 10 kJ
  2. 0.9 kJ
  3. 14 kJ
  4. 6 kJ

Correct answer: 10 kJ

Solution

n = 15/28 mol. Doubling v_rms quadruples T (v ~ sqrt(T)), so dT = 4*300 - 300 = 900 K. For diatomic N2, Cv = (5/2)R, giving Q = (15/28)(2.5*8.3)(900) ~ 10 kJ.
