Question 29 of 190

A total of 48 J48 \mathrm{~J} heat is given to one mole of helium kept in a cylinder. The temperature of helium increases by 2∘C2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. The work done by the gas is:
Given,
R=8.3 J K−1 mol−1\mathrm{R}=8.3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) 23.1 J23.1 \mathrm{~J}

1st 1^{\text {st }} law of thermodynamics
$\begin{aligned}

& \Delta \mathrm{Q}=\Delta \mathrm{U}+\mathrm{W} \\

& \Rightarrow+48=\mathrm{nC}_{\mathrm{v}} \Delta \mathrm{T}+\mathrm{W} \\

& \Rightarrow 48=(1)\left(\frac{3 \mathrm{R}}{2}\right)(2)+\mathrm{W} \\

& \Rightarrow \mathrm{W}=48-3 \times \mathrm{R} \\

& \Rightarrow \mathrm{W}=48-3 \times(8.3) \\

& \Rightarrow \mathrm{W}=23.1 \text { Joule }

\end{aligned}$
