Answer

(a) $0.95K$ (b) $0.57K$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $Q_V=\frac{3}{2}nR\Delta T$ This can be rearranged as: $\Delta T=\frac{2Q_V}{3nR}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta T=\frac{2(535)}{3(45)(8.31)}$ $\Delta T=0.95K$ (b) As $Q_P=\frac{5}{2}nR\Delta T$ This can be rearranged as: $\Delta T=\frac{2Q_P}{5nR}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta T=\frac{2(535)}{5(45)(8.31)}$ $\Delta T=0.57K$
