Energy in Thermal physics: Please show all steps and units:
What is the thermal energy of 1 L of ideal gas at \"standard temperature and pressure\" (0°C, 100,000 Pa)?
What is the thermal energy of 1 L of ideal gas at \"normal temperature and pressure\" (20°C, 101,325 Pa)?
Solution
from ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
(100,000)(1*10^-3) = n(8.314)(0+273)
number of moles = n = 0.044 mol
number of atoms:
N = nNA = (0.044)(6.02X1023) = 2.65X1022 atoms
thermal energy: E = (3/2)NkT = (3/2)(2.65X1022 )(1.38x10-23)(273) = 149.8 J

from ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
(101,325)(1*10^-3) = n(8.314)(20+273)
number of moles = n = 0.0416 mol
thermal energy: E = (3/2)nRT = (3/2)(0.0416)(8.314)(293) =151.9875 J = 152 J
