Q.

Two moles of ideal helium gas are in a rubber balloon at 30°C. The balloon is fully expandable and can be assumed to require no energy in its expansion. The temperature of the gas in the balloon is slowly changed to 35°C. The amount of heat required in raising the temperature is nearly (take R = 8.31 J/mol.K)                    [2012]

1 62 J  
2 104 J  
3 124 J  
4 208 J

The heat is supplied at constant pressure, i.e., the process is isobaric.

  Q=nCpΔt

=2[52R]×Δt=2×52×8.31×5=208 J            ( Cp=52R for mono-atomic gas)
