Twelve grams of nitrogen (N 2 ) in a steel tank are hated from 25.0 to 125ºC. (a) Howmany moles of nitrogen are present? (b) How much hat is transferred to the nitrogen?

Question

Navjyot Kalra · Answer

To find out the number of moles n of nitrogen, substitute 12 g for given mass m and 28 g/mol for M (molecular weight of nitrogen) in the equation n = m/M,
n = m/M
= (12 g)/(28 g/mol)
= 0.429 mol
Thus 0.429 moles of nitrogen are present.

Since nitrogen (N₂) is a diatomic gas, therefore C_v = 5/2 R.
To obtain the heat Q which is transferred to the nitrogen, substitute 0.429 mol for n, 5/2 R for C_v and 125̊ C for T_f and 25̊ C for T_i in the equation Q = nC_v(T_f –T_i),
Q = nC_v(T_f –T_i)
= (0.429 mol) (5/2 R) (125̊ C-25̊ C)
= (0.429 mol) (5/2 ×8.31 J/mol. K) ((125 + 273) K-(25 + 273) K) (Since, R = 8.31 J/mol. K)
= (0.429 mol) (5/2 ×8.31 J/mol. K) (398 K-298 K)
= (0.429 mol) (5/2 ×8.31 J/mol. K) (100 K)
= 891 J
From the above observation we conclude that, the heat Q which is transferred to the nitrogen would be 891 J.
