COMEDK · Physics · 14. Kinetic Theory of Gases

An ideal gas has molar specific heat \(\dfrac{5R}{2}\) at constant pressure. If 1662 J of heat brings about 50 K temperature change, the number of moles of gas is

  1. A \(0.6\)
  2. B \(2.6\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(1.6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the molar specific heat at constant pressure, \(C_p = \dfrac{5R}{2}\) The heat supplied at constant pressure is given by: \(Q = n C_p \Delta T\) Substituting the given values (\(Q = 1662\) J, \(\Delta T = 50\) K, and \(R = 8.31\) J mol\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\)):…
