(b) According to the kinetic theory of gases,the pressure,P, of an ideal gas is related to the
mean-square-speed<c2> of its molecules by the expression
P - lU <cz>
3 V
where V is the volume occupied by the gas, N is the number of molecules and m is the
mass of a molecule of the gas.
(i) StateTHREE assumptionsof the kinetic theory of gaseswhich are used in the
derivation of the expression above.
(ii) Write down the equation of statefor an ideal gas in terms of its thermodynamic
temperatureT, stating what each symbol represents.
(iii) Hence, show that the average kinetic energy, E*, of a molecule of an ideal gas
can be written as

(c) A student has been asked to determine the specific heat capacity of the block shown
in Figure 3 by an electrical method. She has available a variable 15 V supply,
an
immersion heater, a voluneter, an ammeter, a top-pan balance, a thermometer and
a
stopwatch. The heater is used to heat the block for a fixed time. The student's results
are shown in the table below
