MCQ
The specific heat at constant volume for the monoatomic argon is $0.075\, kcal/kg-K,$ whereas its gram molecular specific heat ${C_V}$ $= 2.98\, cal/mole/K.$ The mass of the argon atom is

$(Avogadro’s \,number = 6.02 \times {10^{23}}\,molecules/mole)$

  • $6.60 \times {10^{ - 23}}gm$
  • B
    $3.30 \times {10^{ - 23}}gm$
  • C
    $2.20 \times {10^{ - 23}}gm$
  • D
    $13.20 \times {10^{ - 23}}gm$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$6.60 \times {10^{ - 23}}gm$
a
${C_V} = M\,{c_V}$ 

$\Rightarrow$ $M = \frac{{C_V}}{{c_V}}$

$\Rightarrow$  $M = \frac{{2.98}}{{0.075}} = 39.7\,gm$

$\Rightarrow$  mass of argon atom

$ = \frac{{39.7}}{{6.02 \times {{10}^{23}}}} = 6.6 \times {10^{ - 23}}gm$
