Step 1
This relation is given by the Mayer's formula: Cp - Cv = R where R is the gas constant. For air, R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K. However, we have R in different units than Cv, so we need to convert it to cal/g/K. We know that 1 L.atm = 24.2 cal, and 1 mol of air has a Show more…

Calculate the gas constant, R, constant pressure specific heat, Cp, and constant volume specific heat, Cv, for air. Assume the average molecular weight of air is 28.97 kg/kmol and the ratio of specific heats γ = 1.4.

A sample of air weighing $1.18 \mathrm{~g}$ occupies $1 \cdot 0 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ when kept at $300 \mathrm{~K}$ and $1-0 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}$. When $2 \cdot 0 \mathrm{cal}$ of heat is added to it at constant volume, its temperature increases by $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ Calculate the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of air by $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at constant pressure if the mechanical equivalent of heat is $4.2 \times 10^{-7}$ erg $\mathrm{cal}^{-1}$. Assume that air behaves as an ideal gas.
Compute the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol. You warm 1.15 kg of water at a constant volume from 19.0 ∘C to 29.5 ∘C in a kettle. For the same amount of heat, how many kilograms of 19.0 ∘C air would you be able to warm to 29.5 ∘C? Make the simplifying assumption that air is 100% N2. What volume would this air occupy at 19.0 ∘C and a pressure of 1.03 atm ?
