Question
What will be the internal energy of $8g$ of oxygen at STP?
✓
Answer
Oxygen is a diatomic gas Number of moles of $O_2$ gas$=\frac{\text{Atomic wt.}}{\text{Molecular wt.}}=\frac{8}{32}$
$=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$
$\therefore$ Energy associated with 1 mole of oxygen
$\text{U}=\frac{5}2{}\text{RT}$
$\therefore$ Internal energy of 8g of oxygen $=0.25\times\frac{5}{2}\text{RT}$
$=0.25\times\frac{5}{2}\times8.31\times273=1417.9\text{J}$
