Correct answer: D

  1. For a perfect (ideal) gas, the Mayer relation is CP−CV=RC_P - C_V = RCP​−CV​=R and it is independent of temperature.

  2. But here the question states:

    • At state PPP: CP−CV=RC_P - C_V = RCP​−CV​=R
    • At state QQQ: CP−CV=1.10RC_P - C_V = 1.10RCP​−CV​=1.10R

    Since the difference is not constant, this indicates the gas is not ideal.

  3. For a real gas, we use the general thermodynamic relation: CP−CV=−T(∂P∂T)V2(∂P∂V)TC_P - C_V = -T\frac{\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T}\right)_V^2}{\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial V}\right)_T}CP​−CV​=−T(∂V∂P​)T​(∂T∂P​)V2​​

    This can also be written as CP−CV=TVα2κTC_P - C_V = TV\frac{\alpha^2}{\kappa_T}CP​−CV​=TVκT​α2​ where α\alphaα is the coefficient of volume expansion and κT\kappa_TκT​ is the isothermal compressibility.

  4. From this general relation, CP−CVC_P - C_VCP​−CV​ is generally proportional to temperature (for a given substance/state dependence), so a larger value of CP−CVC_P - C_VCP​−CV​ corresponds to a larger temperature.

  5. Comparing the two states: (CP−CV)Q=1.10R>(CP−CV)P=R(C_P - C_V)_Q = 1.10R > (C_P - C_V)_P = R(CP​−CV​)Q​=1.10R>(CP​−CV​)P​=R hence TQ>TPT_Q > T_PTQ​>TP​ or TP<TQT_P < T_QTP​<TQ​

  6. Therefore, the correct option is: B\boxed{B}B​

  7. Check the given options:

    • A: TP=TQT_P = T_QTP​=TQ​ ❌
    • B: TP<TQT_P < T_QTP​<TQ​ ✅
    • C: TP=0.9TQT_P = 0.9T_QTP​=0.9TQ​ ❌ (this exact proportionality is not justified)
    • D: TP>TQT_P > T_QTP​>TQ​ ❌

So the best conclusion is only TP<TQ\boxed{T_P < T_Q}TP​<TQ​​
