Kinetic Theory - Result Question 36

36. For hydrogen gas, $C_p-C_v=a$ and for oxygen gas, $C_p-C_v=b$, so the relation between $a$ and $b$ is given by

[1991]

(a) $a=16 b$

(b) $16 b=a$

(c) $a=4 b$

(d) $a=b$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 36. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) Both are diatomic gases and $C_p-C_v=R$ for all gases.
