Question
Cv and Cp denote the molar specific heat capacities of a gas at constant volume and constant pressure, respectively. Then
Options
A.Cp - Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas.
B.Cp + Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas.
C.Cp / Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas.
D.Cp . Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas.
Solution
For Monoatomic gas
Cv =
R, Cp = 
R
For diatomic gas
Cp =R Cp = 
R
Cv =
R, Cp = RFor diatomic gas
Cp =
R Cp = RCreate a free account to view solution
