In the following take CV = 20.8 and CP = 29.1 J⋅mol−1⋅°C−1 for nitrogen gas: (a) Three moles of nitrogen at 30°C, contained in a rigid vessel, is heated to 250°C. How much heat is required if the vessel has a negligible heat capacity? If the vessel weighs 100 kg and has a heat capacity of 0.5 kJ⋅kg−1⋅°C−1, how much heat is required? (b) Four moles of nitrogen at 200°C is contained in a piston/cylinder arrangement. How much heat must be extracted from this system, which is kept at constant pressure, to cool it to 40°C if the heat capacity of the piston and cylinder is neglected?
