Suppose a tank contains 787 m3 of neon (Ne) at an absolute pressure of 1.01×105 Pa. The temperature is changed from 293.2 to 294.7 K. What is the increase in the internal energy of the neon?
Solution:
Given data
temperature is changed from 293.2 to 294.7 K
Increase in the internal energy of the neon:
The change in internal energy of a gas is
we assume the neon perfect in terms of Calorically ,then the above equation can also be written as
cv is expressed in terms of the gas constant R , when it exists mono atomically on the sun, k=5/3.
above expression is substitute in equation-(1)
By using the Ideal gas law
above n*R value substitute in equation(2)
Now we know all values so substitute in above expression then find the internal energy of a gas is
we know that 1 k Pa * 1m3 = 1 kilo Joules.
