Question

The molar heat capacities of gases are not perfectly constant, as we've assumed, but increase slowly with temperature. An empirical formula for the molar heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen is $C_v = (20.6 - 1.6 \times 10^{-3}T + 8.0 \times 10^{-6}T^2)$ J/mol K, where T is in K. Part A What is the entropy increase of the gas if 4.2 g of nitrogen in a rigid container are slowly heated from 300$^\circ$C to 500$^\circ$C? Express your answer with the appropriate units. $\Delta S = 0.15 \frac{J}{K}$

Step 1

To do this, we need to use the molar mass of nitrogen (N₂), which is approximately 28 g/mol. Given mass of nitrogen = 4.2 g Number of moles of nitrogen = (Given mass of nitrogen) / (Molar mass of nitrogen) = 4.2 g / 28 g/mol Show more…
