Question:medium

A cylinder of fixed capacity of 44.8 litres contains helium gas at standard temperature and pressure. The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of gas in the cylinder by 20.0°C will be:

Show Hint

For monatomic gases like helium, the molar heat capacity at constant volume is \( \frac{3}{2} R \). The heat required to change the temperature of a gas can be calculated using \( Q = n C_v \Delta T \), where \( n \) is the number of moles, \( C_v \) is the molar heat capacity at constant volume, and \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature.
