A single mole of an ideal monoatomic gas absorbs 207 J of heat to increase its temperature by 10 K under constant pressure. How much heat is needed to achieve the same temperature increase under constant volume? [Gas constant R = 8.3 J / mol·K]
- 198.7 J
- 29 J
- 215.3 J
- 124 J
Correct answer: 198.7 J
Solution
For a monoatomic ideal gas, the molar specific heat at constant pressure is Cp = (5/2)R. Given CpΔT = 207 J, we calculate R = 207 / (5/2 × 10) = 8.3 J/mol·K. At constant volume, Cv = (3/2)R, so heat required is CvΔT = (3/2) × 8.3 × 10 = 198.7 J.
