NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
Given below are two statements: Statement I: ( C _ pm - C _ vm = R ) is applicable for all gases. Statement II: ( C _ pm - C _ vm = R ) is applicable for ideal gas only. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth statement I and statement II are incorrect.
- BStatement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
- CStatement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.
- DBoth statements I and statements II are correct.
Correct answer
C. Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.
Step-by-step solution
- Statement I: The equation (C_p-C_v=R ) is not applicable for all gases. It is specifically valid for ideal gases, but not for real gases where deviations from ideal behavior occur. - Statement II: The equation (C_p-C_v=R ) is indeed applicable only for ideal gases, which assume perfect gas behavior (no intermolecular forces and point-like molecules).
