IIT JEE 2006 Sample Question Paper

The passage discusses how gases behave when heat is added. It explains that if heat is added to a gas in a rigid container, the temperature and pressure increase but volume stays constant, while in an expandable container the pressure stays constant and volume increases. It then defines specific heat as the energy required to raise the temperature of one mole of gas by a certain amount. Tables list the specific heats at constant pressure (Cp) and constant volume (Cv) for various gases including helium, argon, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The questions ask about the ratio of energy needed to raise 5 moles of nitrogen versus carbon monoxide by 1 degree at constant pressure, and states the difference between Cp

IIT JEE 2006 Sample Question Paper

Passage 1 When heat is added to a gas, the temperature increases and the gas expands. If the gas is in a rigid container, then the volume remains constant and the pressure increases. If the gas in in a container that can expand (for example a cylinder with a vertical piston), then the pressure remains constant but the volume expands. The amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one mole of gas is called the specific heat; there is a specific heat for constant pressure (Cp) and a specific heat for constant volume ((Cv). In equation form, this is written:

Delta Q is the energy required to raise the temperature of the gas by a certain amount (delta T). The specific heats for a few gases, including monoatomic gases such as helium and argon, and diatomic gases such as nitrogen and oxygen, are given in the table below. Specific Heat of Some Gases Gas Helium(H) Argon(A) Nitrogen(N2) Oxygen(O2) Carbon Monoxide(CO) Carbon Dioxide(CO2) Methane(CH2)

Cv 3.00 3.00 4.96 4.96 4.93 6.74 6.48

Cp 4.98 5.00 6.95 6.95 6.95 8.75 8.49

Cp-Cv 1.98 2.00 1.99 1.99 2.02 2.01 2.01

Note: All quanties are in calories(Kelvin*mole) Q. 1 Let X be the energy needed to raise the temperature of 5 moles of nitrogen held at constant pressure by one degree. Let Y be the energy needed to raise 5 moles of carbon monoxide by one degree with the pressure held constant. What is the ratio X:Y? A. 5:7 Answer: B Discription: There is no need to do any calculations here. If you put X on top of Y, you will see that it reduces to the ratio of Cp for nitrogen over Cp for carbon monoxide. And since both gases have the same Cp, the ratio is simply 1:1. Q. 2 The difference Cp - Cv is a constant. This constant is often called R, the universal gas constant. Which of the following is true given the data? B. 1:1 C. 7:5 D. 7:9
