    The specific heat at constant volume for the monatomic argon is 0.075 kcal/kg-K, whereas its gram molecular specific heat is\[{{C}_{v}}=2.98\,cal/mol/k\]. The mass of the argon atom is (Avogadro's number \[=6.02\times {{10}^{23}}\] molecules/mol)

    A) \[6.60\times {{10}^{-23}}g\]   

    B) \[3.30\times {{10}^{-23}}g\]

    C) \[2.20\times {{10}^{-23}}g\]

    D) \[13.20\times {{10}^{-23}}g\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Molar specific heat = molecular weight \[\times \]gram specific heat \[{{C}_{v}}=M\times {{c}_{v}}\] \[2.98\,cal/mol-K=M\times 0.075Kcal/kg-K\] \[=M\times \frac{0.075\times {{10}^{3}}}{{{10}^{3}}}cal/g-K\] \[\therefore \]Molecular weight of argon \[M=\frac{2.98}{0.075}=39.7g\] i.e., mass of \[6.023\times {{10}^{23}}\]atom = 39.7 g Therefore, mass of single atom \[=\frac{39.7}{6.023\times {{10}^{23}}}=6.60\times {{10}^{-23}}g\]
