Answer

$Q=900 cal$

Work Step by Step

$\Delta E_{int}=nC_V\Delta T$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta E_{int}=3.0(6.00)(50)=900 cal$ We also know that the work done is zero for constant volume processes. Therefore, from the first law of thermodynamics; $Q=\Delta E_{int}+W=900+0=900 cal$
