Two moles of an ideal monoatomic gas are...

Two moles of an ideal monoatomic gas are confined within a cylinder by a massless and frictionless spring loaded piston of cross-sectional area `4 xx 10^(-3)m^(2)`. The spring is, initially in its relaxed state. Now the gas is heated by an electric heater, placed inside the cylinder, for some time. During this time, the gas expands and does `50J` of work in moving the piston through a distance `0.10m`. The temperature of the gas increases by `50K`. Calculate the spring constant and the heat supplied by the heater. `P_(atm) = 1 xx 10^(5)N//m^(2)R = 8.314 J//mol-K`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`2000N//m,, 1295J`
Work done by gas = `underset(0)overset(x)intP_(0)Adx + underset(0)overset(x)intkxdx`
=`50J = P_(0)Ax + (kx^(2))/(2)`
`implies 50 = 10^(5) xx 4 xx 10^(-3) xx 0.1 + (k)/(2)(0.01)`
Spring constant `implies k = 2000N//m`
Heat supplied `Q = DeltaU + W = nC_(V)DeltaT + W`
=`(nRDeltaT)/(gamma-1) + W = (2 xx 8.314 xx 50 )/(((5)/(3) - 1)) + 50 = 1295J`

An ideal monatomic gas is confined in a cylinder by a spring-loaded piston of cross-section 8.0xx10^-3m^2 . Initially the gas is at 300K and occupies a volume of 2.4xx10^-3m^3 and the spring is in its relaxed (unstretched, unompressed) state, fig.

The force constant of the spring is 8000 N//m , atmospheric pressure is 1.0xx10^5 Nm^-2 . The cylinder and the piston are thermally insulated. The piston is massless and there is no friction between the piston and the cylinder. Neglect heat loss through lead wires of the heater. The heat capacity of the heater coil is negligible.
