70 calories of heat is required to raise the temperature of 2 moles of an ideal gas at constant pressure from 30°C to 35°C. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the same gas through the same range at constant volume is


We know that, Q = nCpdT… (i),


Where


Q = heat required to raise the temperature


n = number of moles


Cp = specific heat capacity at constant pressure


dT = rise in temperature.


In this first case,


Amount of heat required(Q) = 70 cal


Number of moles(n) = 2 mol


Rise in temperature(dT) = (35-30)0C = 50C


Hence, from (i), we get Cp = 7 calmol-1 0C-1


Now, we know, Cp - Cv = R,


Where


Cp = specific heat capacity at constant pressure


Cv = specific heat capacity at constant volume


R = universal gas constant = 1.98 calmol-1 0C-1


Therefore, we get Cv = Cp - R = (7-1.98) cal mol-1 0C-1


= 5.02 cal mol-1 0C-1


Now, in the new case, change in temperature dT = 50C as before. Number of moles(n) = 2, and Cv = 5.02 calmol-1 0C-1


Hence, amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the same gas through the same range


dQ = nCvdT = (2 x 5.02 x 5) cal = 50.2 cal which is approximately equal to 50 cal.


Hence, the correct option is (b).
