Answer:
The heat flows into the gas during this two-step process is 120 cal.
Explanation:
Given that,
Number of moles = 3
Heat capacity at constant volume = 4.9 cal/mol.K
Heat capacity at constant pressure = 6.9 cal/mol.K
Initial temperature = 300 K
Final temperature = 320 K
We need to calculate the heat flow in to gas at constant pressure
Using formula of heat
[tex]\Delta H_{1}=nC_{p}\times\Delta T[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]\Delta H_{1}=3\times6.9\times(320-300)[/tex]
[tex]\Delta H_{1}=414\ cal[/tex]
We need to calculate the heat flow in to gas at constant volume
Using formula of heat
[tex]\Delta H_{1}=nC_{v}\times\Delta T[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]\Delta H_{1}=3\times4.9\times(300-320)[/tex]
[tex]\Delta H_{1}=-294\ cal[/tex]
We need to calculate the heat flows into the gas during two steps
Using formula of total heat
[tex]\Delta H_{T}=\Delta H_{1}+\Delta H_{2}[/tex]
[tex]\Delta H_{T}=414-294[/tex]
[tex]\Delta H_{T}=120\ cal[/tex]
Hence, The heat flows into the gas during this two-step process is 120 cal.
