    Find the loss in the mass of 1 mole of an ideal monatomic gas kept in a rigid container as it cools down by 100°C. The gas constant R = 8.3 J K-1 mol-1.
    Ans : Given: Number of moles of gas, n = 1
    Change in temperature, ∆T = 10°C
    Energy possessed by a mono atomic gas, `` E=\frac{3}{2}nRdT``
    Now,
    `` R=\; 8.3\,\mathrm{\,J/\,}\,\mathrm{\,mol\,}-K``
    This decrease in energy causes loss in mass of the gas. Thus,
    `` \,\mathrm{\,Loss\,}\,\mathrm{\,in\,}\,\mathrm{\,mass\,},∆m=\frac{Q}{{c}^{2}}``
    `` \Rightarrow ∆m=\frac{1.5\times 8.3\times 10}{{c}^{2}}``
    `` =\frac{124.5}{9\times {10}^{16}}=1.38\times {10}^{-15}\,\mathrm{\,kg\,}``
