Calculate the heat capacity, in joules per degree and in calories per degree, for 45.8 g of nitrogen gas. [heat capacity of n2(g)= 1.04j/g0c] [1 cal=4.184j]

Answer : The heat capacity in joules per degree Celsius and calories per degree Celsius is, and respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of nitrogen gas = 45.8 g

Heat capacity of nitrogen gas =

First we have to calculate the heat capacity in joules per degree Celsius.

As, 1 gram of nitrogen gas has heat capacity =

So, 45.8 gram of nitrogen gas has heat capacity =

Thus, the heat capacity in joules per degree Celsius is

Now we have to calculate the heat capacity in calories per degree Celsius.

As we are given the conversion:

So, the heat capacity of nitrogen gas =

Thus, the heat capacity in calories per degree Celsius is
