56 2 INTERNAL ENERGY (i) Without any vibrational contribution: CV ,m = 1 2 × (3 + 2 + 0) × R = 5 2R. For a perfect gas, [2B.9–49], Cp ,m = CV ,m + R, therefore γ = CV ,m + R CV ,m = 5 2R + R 5 2R = 7 5 ≈ 1.40 (ii) With the vibrational contribution: �e number of vibrational modes is νv = 3N − 5 for a linear molecule, where N is the number of atoms in the molecule.�erefore νv = 3N − 5 = 4.�is gives CV ,m = 1 2 × (3 + 2 + 2 × 4) × R = 13 2 R and thus Cp ,m = 15 2 R and so γ = 15/13 ≈ 1.15. �e experimental value of γ for carbon dioxide is γ = Cp ,m CV ,m = Cp ,m Cp ,m − R = (37.11 JK−1mol−1) (37.11 JK−1mol−1) − (8.3145 JK−1mol−1) = 1.29 which is somewhat closer to the value expected if vibration is neglected, but does not match that value closely. �is indicates that vibrations may be con- tributing somewhat - for example the lower frequency bending modes. E2E.2(b) For a reversible adiabatic expansion the initial and �nal states are related by [2E.2a–68], (Tf/Ti) = (Vi/Vf)1/c , where c = CV ,m/R. For a perfect gas Cp ,m − CV ,m = R, [2B.9–49], so c = (Cp ,m − R)/R. Using the value of Cp ,m from the Resource section gives c = (37.11 JK−1mol−1) − (8.3145 JK−1mol−1) (8.3145 JK−1mol−1) = 3.463 �erefore Tf = Ti ( Vi Vf ) 1 c = (298.15 K) × ( 500 cm3 2.00 × 103 cm3 ) 1 3.463 = 200 K E2E.3(b) For a reversible adiabatic expansion the initial and �nal states are related by [2E.3–68], piV γ i = pfV γ f , where γ is the ratio of heat capacities, γ = Cp ,m/CV ,m. �e initial volume of the sample is Vi = nRT p = (2.5 mol) × (8.3145 JK−1mol−1) × (325 K) (2.40 × 105 Pa) = 2.81... × 10−2 m3 = 28.1... dm3 For a perfect gas Cp ,m − CV ,m = R, hence γ = Cp ,m CV ,m = Cp ,m Cp ,m − R = (20.8 JK−1mol−1) (20.8 JK−1mol−1) − (8.3145 JK−1mol−1) = 1.66... �e �nal volume is given by Vf = (28.1... dm3)×(2.40×105 Pa/1.50×105 Pa)1/1.66.. . = 37.3... dm3 = 37 dm3
