5 g of a gas is contained in a rigid container and is heated from 15°C to 25°C. Specific heat capacity of the gas at constant volume is 0.172 cal g−1 °C−1 and the mechanical equivalent of heat is 4.2 J cal−1. Calculate the change in the internal energy of the gas

उत्तर
Given:
Mass of the gas, m = 5 g
Change in temperature of the system, ∆T = 25 − 15°C = 10°C
Specific heat at constant volume, Cv = 0.172 cal/g -°C
Mechanical equivalent, J = 4.2 J/cal
From the first law of thermodynamics,
dQ = dU +dW
Now ,
ΔV = 0 (Rigid wall of the container keeps the volume constant)
So, dW =PΔV =0
Therefore,
dQ =dU (From the first law)
Q = mcvdT = 5×0.172×10
= 8.6 cal = 8.6 × 4.2 J
= 36.12 J
So, change in internal energy of the system is 36.12 J.

Given below are densities of some solids and liquids. Give rough estimates of the size of their atoms:
| Substance | Atomic Mass (u) | Density (103 Kg m-3) |
| Carbon (diamond) | 12.01 | 2.22 |
| Gold | 197.00 | 19.32 |
| Nitrogen (liquid) | 14.01 | 1.00 |
| Lithium | 6.94 | 0.53 |
| Fluorine (liquid) | 19.00 | 1.14 |
[Hint: Assume the atoms to be ‘tightly packed’ in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro’s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few Å].
