Calculate the heat capacity, in joules per degree and in calories per degree, for 45.8 g of nitrogen gas. [heat capacity of n2(g)= 1.04j/g0c] [1 cal=4.184j]

Respuesta :

Answer : The heat capacity in joules per degree Celsius and calories per degree Celsius is, [tex]47.6J/^oC[/tex] and [tex]11.4cal/^oC[/tex] respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of nitrogen gas = 45.8 g

Heat capacity of nitrogen gas = [tex]1.04J/g^oC[/tex]

First we have to calculate the heat capacity in joules per degree Celsius.

As, 1 gram of nitrogen gas has heat capacity = [tex]1.04J/^oC[/tex]

So, 45.8 gram of nitrogen gas has heat capacity = [tex]45.8\times 1.04J/^oC=47.6J/^oC[/tex]

Thus, the heat capacity in joules per degree Celsius is [tex]47.6J/^oC[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the heat capacity in calories per degree Celsius.

As we are given the conversion:

[tex]1cal=4.184J\\\\1J=\frac{1}{4.184}cal[/tex]

So, the heat capacity of nitrogen gas = [tex]\frac{1}{4.184}cal\times 47.6\text{ per }^oC=11.4cal/^oC[/tex]

Thus, the heat capacity in calories per degree Celsius is [tex]11.4cal/^oC[/tex]

Lanuel

The heat capacity, in Joules per degree Celsius and in calories per degree Celsius are 47.632 J/g°C and 11.384 cal/g°C respectively.

Given the following data:

  • Mass of nitrogen gas = 45.8 grams
  • Heat capacity of nitrogen gas = 1.04 J/g°C

To find the heat capacity, in Joules per degree Celsius and in calories per degree Celsius:

By direct proportion:

1 gram of nitrogen gas = 1.04 J/g°C

45.8 grams of nitrogen gas = X J/g°C

Cross-multiplying, we have:

[tex]X = 45.8 \times 1.04[/tex]

X = 47.632 J/g°C.

Therefore, the heat capacity, in Joules per degree Celsius, for 45.8 grams of nitrogen gas is 47.632 J/g°C.

In calories per degree Celsius:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

Y calorie = 47.632 Joules

Cross-multiplying, we have:

[tex]Y \times 4.184 = 47.632\\\\Y = \frac{47.632}{4.184}[/tex]

Y = 11.384 cal/g°C.
