Current Question (ID: 19842)

Question:
$\text{To raise the temperature of a certain mass of gas by } 50^\circ \text{C at a constant pressure, } 160 \text{ calories of heat is required.}$ $\text{When the same mass of gas is cooled by } 100^\circ \text{C at constant volume, } 240 \text{ calories of heat is released.}$ $\text{How many degrees of freedom does each molecule of this gas have (assume the gas to be ideal)?}$
Options:
  • 1. $2$
  • 2. $5$
  • 3. $6$
  • 4. $3$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: } f = \frac{2}{\gamma - 1}$ $\text{Step: Find the degrees of freedom does each molecule of this gas.}$ $\text{We are given the heat required to raise the temperature by } 50^\circ \text{C at constant pressure is;} \Rightarrow Q_P = 160 \text{ cal}$ $\text{Using } Q = nC_P \Delta T, \text{ we get;} \Rightarrow nC_P(50) = 160$ $\text{The heat released when cooled by } 100^\circ \text{C at constant volume is;} \Rightarrow Q_V = 240 \text{ cal}$ $\text{Using } Q = nC_V \Delta T, \text{ we get;} \Rightarrow nC_V(100) = 240$ $\text{The ratio of specific heats is given by;} \Rightarrow \gamma = \frac{C_P}{C_V} \Rightarrow \frac{3.2}{2.4} = \frac{4}{3}$ $\text{The degrees of freedom does each molecule of this gas is given by;} \Rightarrow f = \frac{2}{\gamma - 1}$ $\text{Substitute the given values we get;} \Rightarrow f = \frac{2}{(4/3) - 1} = 6$ $\text{Hence, option (3) is the correct answer.}$
