The specific heat at constant volume for the monoatomic argon is 0.075 kcal / kg - K , whereas its gram molecular specific heat is C_V=2.98 cal / mol K . The mass of the carbon atom is
Options
- A6.60 10⁻²³ ~g
- B3.30 10⁻²³ ~g
- C2.20 10⁻²³ ~g
- D13.20 10⁻²³ ~g
Correct answer
A. 6.60 10⁻²³ ~g
Step-by-step solution
Molar specific heat = Molecular weight gram specific heat. C_V=M C_V aligned 2.98 cal / mol - K & =M 0.075 kcal / kg - K & = M 0.075 10^3 10^3 cal / g - K aligned Molecular weight of argon, M= 2.98 0.075 =39.7 ~g i.e. mass of 6.023 10²³ atom =39.7 ~g Therefore, mass of aligned single atom & = 39.7 6.023 10²³ & =6.60 10⁻²³ ~g aligned
