JEE Advanced2009PhysicsKinetic Theory of GasesActual
C_V and C_p denote the molar specific heat capacities of a gas at constant volume and constant pressure, respectively. Then
Options
- AC_p-C_V is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas
- BC_p+C_V is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas.
- CC_p C_V is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas
- DC_p C_V is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas
Correct answer
B. C_p+C_V is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas.
Step-by-step solution
For monoatomic gas, C_p= 5 2 R and C_V= 3 2 R For diatomic gas, C_p= 7 2 R and C_V= 5 2 R
