Answer #1

By changing the temperature ?T its internal energy changes by
?U = n?Cv??T

n is the number of moles and Cv is the molar heat capacity at constant volume. Don't get confused about the wording. Relation above holds for every process, even if the volume change.
For argon:
Cv = 12.4717J/molK

Hence:
?U = 7.8mol ? 12.4717J/molK ? (-196K) = -19066.734J

On the other hand change of internal energy equals heat transferred to the gas plus work done on the gas:
?U = Q + W

Therefore:
W = ?U - Q
= -19066.734J - (-35000J)
= 15933.266J

n moles of gaseous nitrogen are cooled off from a Temperature T=300 K to just below its liquid temperature of 77 K with a specific enthalpy change ΔH1= -1440 cal/mol. This amount of nitrogen can be liquefied by extracting some extra heat. The specific heat of vaporization of liquid nitrogen equals ΔH2= 1336 cal/mol. Calculate the total amount of heat to be extracted from n=1.3 moles of gaseous nitrogen in this process.
