Question:

How much heat energy in joule must be supplied to \(14\) g of nitrogen at room temperature to raise its temperature by \(40^{\circ }\)C at constant pressure?
(molecular wt. of nitrogen = \(28\) g, \(R\) = gas constant) (gas is diatomic)

Show Hint

Find the number of moles, use Cp equal to seven halves R for a diatomic gas, and multiply by the temperature rise.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
At constant pressure, \(Q=nC_{P}\Delta T\). For a diatomic gas, \(C_{P}=\frac{7}{2}R\).

Step 2: Number of Moles
\(n=\frac{14}{28}=0.5\).

Step 3: Calculation
\(Q=0.5\times\frac{7}{2}R\times40\)
\(Q=70R\).

Final Answer:
The heat required is 70R joules. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) }70R} \]
