Question

$$4\,kg$$  of oxygen gas is heated so as to raise its temperature from 20 to $${120^ \circ }C.$$  If the heating is done at constant pressure, the external work done by the gas is ($${C_p} = 0.219\,cal/{g^ \circ }C$$    and $${C_v} = 0.157\,cal/{g^ \circ }C$$    )

A. $$628\,kJ$$
B. $$104\,kJ$$  
C. $$366\,kJ$$
D. $$206\,kJ$$
Answer :   $$104\,kJ$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & W = P\left( {\Delta V} \right) = m\left( {{C_p} - {C_\nu }} \right)\Delta T \cr & = 4\left( {0.219 - 0.157} \right) \times 4200 \times \left( {120 - 20} \right) \cr & \simeq 104 \times {10^3}\,J \cr} $$
