Six kilograms of nitrogen at 30 °C are cooled so that the internal energy decreases by 60 kJ. Find the final temperature of the gas. Assume that the specific heat of nitrogen is 0.745 kJ / kg °C.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Final temperature will be 16.57°C

Explanation:

We have given mass of nitrogen m = 6 kg

Initial temperature [tex]T_1=30^{\circ}[/tex]

Decrease in internal energy [tex]\Delta U=-60KJ[/tex]

Specific heat of nitrogen [tex]c_v[/tex]= 0.745 KJ/kg

Let final temperature is [tex]T_2[/tex]

Change in internal energy is given by [tex]\Delta U=mc_v\Delta T=mc_v(T_2-T_1)[/tex]

[tex]-60=6\times 0.745(T_2-30)[/tex]

[tex]T_2=16.57^{\circ}C[/tex]

So final temperature will be 16.57°C
