Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

a) For monatomic gas the change in thermal energy is given by $$\Delta E_{th}=nC_{\rm v}\Delta T$$ Hence the change in temperature is given by $$\Delta T=\dfrac{\Delta E_{th}}{nC_{\rm v}}\tag 1$$ And since the thermal energy of the gas is increased by 1 J, so the change in the thermal energy is this q J. ​ Plugging the known $$\Delta T=\dfrac{(1)}{(1)(12.5)}=\color{red}{\bf 0.08}\;\rm K=\color{red}{\bf 0.08}^\circ C$$ ______________________________________________________________ b) For diatomic gas, we can use (1) again; $$\Delta T=\dfrac{\Delta E_{th}}{nC_{\rm v}} $$ Plugging the known $$\Delta T=\dfrac{(1)}{(1)(20.8)}=\color{red}{\bf 0.048}\;\rm K=\color{red}{\bf 0.048}^\circ C$$ ______________________________________________________________ c) For solids, we can use (1) again; $$\Delta T=\dfrac{(1)}{(1)(25)}=\color{red}{\bf 0.04}\;\rm K=\color{red}{\bf 0.04}^\circ C$$
