Question
What amount of heat must be supplied to 2.0 x 10-2 kg of nitrogen (at room temperature) to raise its temperature by 45 °C at constant pressure? (Molecular mass of N2 = 28; R = 8.3 J mol-1 K-1.)
Solution 1
Mass of nitrogen, m = 2.0 × 10–2 kg = 20 g
Rise in temperature, ΔT = 45°C
Molecular mass of N2, M = 28
Universal gas constant, R = 8.3 J mol–1 K–1
Number of moles, `n = m/M`
`= (2.0xx10^(-2)xx10^3)/28 = 0.714`
Molar specific heat at constant pressure for nitrogen, `C_P = 7/2 R`
`= 7/2 xx 8.3`
`= 29.05 J mol^(-1) K^(-1)`
The total amount of heat to be supplied is given by the relation:
ΔQ = nCP ΔT
= 0.714 × 29.05 × 45
= 933.38 J
Therefore, the amount of heat to be supplied is 933.38 J.
Solution 2
Here, mass of gas,` m= 2xx 10^-2 kg` = 20 g
rise in temperature, `triangleT = 45 ^@C`
Heat required, triangleQ = ?, Molecular mass, M = 28
Number of moles , `n = m/M = 20/28 = 0.714`
As nitrogen is a diatomatic gas,molar specific heat at constant pressure is
`C_p = 7/2R = 7/2 xx 8.3 J mol^(-1) K^(-1)`
As `triangleQ = nC_p triangleT`
`:. triangleQ = 0.714 xx 7/2 xx 8.3 xx 45 J = 933.4 J`

If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat-resistant box then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. In this situation, we get the following principle.
Heat energy lost by the hot object = Heat energy gained by the cold object. This is called the ‘Principle of heat exchange’.
