If cp and cv denote the specific heats (per unit mass of an ideal gas of molecular weight M, then
- Acp cv = R/M2
- Bcp cv = R
- Ccp cv = R/M
- Dcp cv = MR
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Cv = molar specific heat of the ideal gas at constant volume
Cp = molar specific heat of the ideal gas at constant pressure,
Cp' = MCp and Cv’ = MCv
Also
MCp – MCv = R
Cp – Cv = R/M
