One gram-molecule of oxygen is heated at a constant pressure from 0ºC.
What amount of heat should be imparted to the gas to double its volume? The heat capacity of oxygen in these conditions is C p = 0.218 cal/g.deg.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Sol. The final temperature of the gas is determined from Gay-Lussac's law
= 
and the quantity of heat from the equation
Q = C Pµ (T – T 0 )
where µ is the molecular weight of oxygen.
Q = 1,904 cal.
