Let γ _ 1 be the ratio of molar specific heat at constant pressure...

Let γ1{\gamma}_{1} be the ratio of molar specific heat at constant pressure and molar specific heat at constant volume of a monoatomic gas and γ2{\gamma}_{2} be the similar ratio of diatomic gas. Considering the diatomic gas molecule as a rigid rotator, the ratio γ1γ2\dfrac{{\gamma}_{1}}{{\gamma}_{2}} is:

Options

  1. A2735\dfrac{27}{35}
  2. B3527\dfrac{35}{27}
  3. C2521\dfrac{25}{21}
  4. D2125\dfrac{21}{25}

Correct answer

C. 2521\dfrac{25}{21}

Step-by-step solution

As we know, Cv=fR2{C}_{v} = f\dfrac{R}{2}

and Cp=Cv+R=fR2+R{C}_{p} = {C}_{v} + R = f\dfrac{R}{2} + R

Therefore, γ=CpCv=1+2f\gamma = \dfrac{{C}_{p}}{{C}_{v}} = 1 + \dfrac{2}{f}

For monatomic gas, f=3f = 3 and hence γ1=53{\gamma}_{1} = \dfrac{5}{3}

For diatomic gas, f=5f = 5 and hence γ2=75{\gamma}_{2} = \dfrac{7}{5}

Required ratio, γ1γ2=2521\dfrac{{\gamma}_{1}}{{\gamma}_{2}} = \dfrac{25}{21}
