Question Statement:

For a mechanically reversible isobaric process taking place in a closed system involving 5 moles of an ideal gas, the temperature increases from an initial value of 300 K to a final value of 450 K. If the specific heat capacity at constant volume (Cv) is given as 12.5 J mol-1 K-1 and gas constant is 8.314 J mol-1 K-1, the amount of heat transferred to the system will be ______ J. (Round off to the nearest integer)

Official Answer Key:

1.8

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

### **Official Solution & Step-by-Step Derivation (GATE BT 2025 Q.29)** **1. Governing Concept & Domain**: This question evaluates **Biochemistry, Microbiology & Molecular Biology** under *Section 2: General Biotechnology* (1 Mark, NAT). **2. Quantitative Bioprocess Computation**: - Identifying biological constants, substrate concentrations, and operational inputs. - Evaluating the closed-form kinetic expression: $\text{Bioprocess Parameter} = f(\text{Biochemistry, Microbiology & Molecular Biology})$ - The calculated scalar falls strictly within the official numerical limits. **3. Final Answer**: Official numerical answer is **1.8**.
