Q.62. For gas 'A' in a calorimeter heat evolved is 250 kJ/mol. For 0.2 mol of A, temperature rise from 298 K to 300K. Find out heat capacity of calorimeter -
(1) 12.5 kJ/K
(2) 25 kJ/K
(3) 50 kJ/K
(4) 100 kJ/K

The solution is as follows:

For 0.2 mole, the energy released is 250 kJ/mol.
For 1 mole energy released is 2500.2=50 kJ/mol.


q = n CpTCp = qn×T     =501×2=25 kJ/K

Correct option is (2).
