Kinetic Theory - Result Question 29

29. The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of $1 g$ of Helium at NTP, from $T_1 K$ to $T_2 K$ is

[2013]

(a) $\frac{3}{2} N_a k_B(T_2-T_1)$

(b) $\frac{3}{4} N_a k_B(T_2-T_1)$

(c) $\frac{3}{4} N_a k_B \frac{T_2}{T_1}$

(d) $\frac{3}{8} N_a k_B(T_2-T_1)$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 29. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) From first law of thermodynamics,

$\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W=\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{4} R(T_2-T_1)+0$

$=\frac{3}{8} N_a K_B(T_2-T_1)[\because K=\frac{R}{N}]$
