Change of temperature of ideal gas

In summary, the conversation discusses a problem involving 1m3 of Ar gas with given values for M, pressure, and temperature. The energy Q is then added to the gas, and the question is asked about the resulting temperature. The individual uses two different formulas to try to solve the problem, but the solutions do not match. It is then pointed out that the incorrect value for c was used in one of the formulas.

Homework Statement



We have 1m3 of Ar gas M=39.948g/mol, pressure=101300Pa, temperature T=298K. We put the energy Q=1000J in that gas. Whats the temperature after we put 103J. (c=0.5203x103)

Homework Equations



Im not interested in solution. I tried to solve it on two ways using formula for internal energy of ideal gas [tex]\Delta[/tex]U = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]nR[tex]\Delta[/tex]T and the formula Q = mc[tex]\Delta[/tex]T

However solutions are not the same, why?

The Attempt at a Solution



pV=nRT => n = pV / RT = 40.89mol
m = Mn = 1633g = 1.633kg

[tex]\Delta[/tex]U = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]nR[tex]\Delta[/tex]T
thus [tex]\Delta[/tex]T = Q / [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]nR = 1000 / (1.5*40.89*8.314) = 1.961°K

however
Q = mc[tex]\Delta[/tex]T
thus [tex]\Delta[/tex]T = Q / mc = 1000 / (1.633*0.5203*103) = 1.177°K

what is wrog please?

You took c to be c_p while you need c_v here.

right. Thanks very much!
 

1. What is the ideal gas law and how does it relate to change in temperature?

The ideal gas law is a fundamental equation in thermodynamics that describes the behavior of an ideal gas. It states that the pressure (P), volume (V), and temperature (T) of an ideal gas are all related through the equation PV=nRT, where n is the number of moles of gas and R is the gas constant. This equation shows that as temperature increases, either pressure or volume (or both) must also increase to maintain the same number of moles of gas.

2. How does the temperature of an ideal gas change when it is compressed?

When an ideal gas is compressed, its temperature increases. This is because as the gas molecules are forced closer together, they collide more frequently and with greater force, which increases the average kinetic energy (temperature) of the gas. This relationship is described by the ideal gas law, where pressure and volume have an inverse relationship with temperature.

3. What is the relationship between temperature and pressure in an ideal gas?

According to the ideal gas law, pressure and temperature have a direct relationship in an ideal gas. This means that as the temperature of an ideal gas increases, so does its pressure, and vice versa. This relationship is also known as Charles' Law, which states that at a constant volume, the pressure of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

4. How does a change in temperature affect the volume of an ideal gas?

According to the ideal gas law, as the temperature of an ideal gas increases, its volume also increases. This is because the gas molecules move faster and take up more space, resulting in an increase in volume. This relationship is also known as Gay-Lussac's Law, which states that at a constant pressure, the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

5. Can the temperature of an ideal gas change without changing its pressure or volume?

No, according to the ideal gas law, the temperature, pressure, and volume of an ideal gas are all interrelated. This means that a change in any one of these variables will result in a change in at least one of the other variables. In order for the temperature to change while keeping pressure and volume constant, some external work must be done on the gas or some heat must be added or removed from the system.
