Correct Answer: 8120

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding Enthalpy Change for an Ideal Gas 

The change in enthalpy (\(\Delta H\)) for an ideal gas is given by:

\[ \Delta H = n C_P \Delta T \]

where \( C_P = C_V + R \) for a monoatomic gas.

Step 2: Calculating \( C_P \)

\[ C_P = 12 + 8.3 = 20.3 \text{ J K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1} \]

Step 3: Determining the Temperature Change

From the diagram:

\[ \Delta T = T_Z - T_X = 415K - 335K = 80K \]

Step 4: Computing Enthalpy Change

\[ \Delta H = 5 \times 20.3 \times 80 \]

\[ = 8120 \text{ J} \]
