0.056 kg of Nitrogen is enclosed in a vessel at temperature of 127°C. The amount of heat required to double the speed of its molecules is __ k cal. (Take R = 2 cal mol⁻¹ K⁻¹)

  1. 12.00
  2. 12.00
  3. 12.00
  4. 12.00

Correct answer: 12.00

Solution

To double the speed of the nitrogen molecules, we need to increase the temperature by a factor of four, since the speed of gas molecules is proportional to the square root of temperature. The heat required can be calculated using the formula Q = nC_vΔT, where n is the number of moles, C_v is the molar heat capacity at constant volume, and ΔT is the change in temperature, leading to the conclusion that 12.00 kcal is needed.
