Answer:
The energy is [tex]9.4\times10^{-21}\ J[/tex]
(a) is correct option
Explanation:
Given that,
Energy = 4480 j
Weight of nitrogen = 20 g
Boil temperature = 77 K
Pressure = 1 atm
We need to calculate the internal energy
Using first law of thermodynamics
[tex]Q=\Delta U+W[/tex]
[tex]Q=\Delta U+nRT[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex] 4480=\Delta U+\dfrac{20}{28}\times8.314\times77[/tex]
[tex]\Delta U=4480-\dfrac{20}{28}\times8.314\times77[/tex]
[tex]\Delta U=4022.73\ J[/tex]
We need to calculate the number of molecules in 20 g N₂
Using formula of number of molecules
[tex]N=n\times \text{Avogadro number}[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]N=\dfrac{20}{28}\times6.02\times10^{23}[/tex]
[tex]N=4.3\times10^{23}[/tex]
We need to calculate the energy
Using formula of energy
[tex]E=\dfrac{\Delta U}{N}[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]E=\dfrac{4022.73}{4.3\times10^{23}}[/tex]
[tex]E=9.4\times10^{-21}\ J[/tex]
Hence, The energy is [tex]9.4\times10^{-21}\ J[/tex]
