One kg of air is heated in a closed rigid vessel

In summary, the question is asking for the heat transferred and change in internal energy when one kg of air is heated from 27 C to 427 C in a closed and rigid vessel. Using the equations Q = mxCx(T2 - T1) and ΔU = q + w(external), we can find that the heat transferred is 314.4x10^3 KJ and there is no change in internal energy. The units for heat transfer are correct and because the volume is constant, no work is done.

Homework Statement



One kg of air is heated in a closed rigid vessel such its temperature changes from 27 C to 427 C . Find the heat transfered
and change in internal energy .
Assume : -
R= 0.287 KJ/kg k
Cv = 0786 KJ/Kg k


Homework Equations



Q = mXCX(T2 - T1 )

The Attempt at a Solution



please can anyone explain to me how I can solve this question

and is R and Cv must be in same unit

my answer :

heat transfer = 1 X 0.786 X 10 (700-300 )

314.4X 10^3 KJ ( is the unit correct )

and about second one I don't have any idea for solve it

ΔU=q + w(external)
w=work
as you posted Cv then volume is constnt so change in pressure should be taken.so by Gay Lussacs law P=kT
thereforeP1/P2=T1/T2
so you can find Work by volume*change in pressure
add Q to get work

I don't understand clearly can please help ?
 
  • #4
Since the container is rigid, there is no volume change and no work is done. The heat transferred is equal to the change in internal energy.

thanks so much
 

FAQ: One kg of air is heated in a closed rigid vessel

What happens to the pressure of the air when it is heated in a closed rigid vessel?

As the air is heated, its molecules gain energy and begin to move faster, causing an increase in pressure. This is because the molecules are colliding with the walls of the vessel more frequently and with greater force.

Does the volume of the air change when it is heated in a closed rigid vessel?

Assuming the vessel remains completely rigid, meaning it does not expand or contract, the volume of the air will not change. This is because the number of molecules of air remains constant, but their movement and collisions increase, causing an increase in pressure.

How does the temperature of the air change when it is heated in a closed rigid vessel?

The temperature of the air will increase as it is heated in a closed rigid vessel. This is due to the increase in kinetic energy of the molecules, which is directly proportional to the temperature of the air.

What happens if the vessel is not completely sealed or rigid?

If the vessel is not completely sealed, air molecules may escape, causing a decrease in pressure. If the vessel is not completely rigid, it may expand or contract slightly, potentially causing a change in volume. However, the temperature of the air will still increase as it is heated.

Can the pressure, volume, or temperature of the air be controlled in a closed rigid vessel?

In a closed rigid vessel, the pressure, volume, and temperature of the air can be controlled to a certain extent. By changing the amount of heat applied to the air, one can manipulate the temperature and pressure. However, the volume will remain constant unless the vessel itself is altered.
