Answer

(a) $31.25J$ (b) $59.9K$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can determine the required heat as follows: $Q=\frac{m}{M}C_v\Delta T$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Q=\frac{1}{40}(12.5)(100)$ $\implies Q=31.25J$ (b) The required temperature can be determined as follows: $\Delta T_p=\frac{nC_v\Delta T_v}{nC_p}$ $\implies \Delta T_p=\frac{1}{\gamma}\Delta T_v$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta T_p=\frac{1}{1.67}(100)$ $\implies \Delta T_p=59.9K$
