12.Kinetic Theory of Gases
normal
If $C_p$ and $C_v$ denote the specific heat of nitrogen at constant pressure and constant volume respectiely, then
A
$C_p -C_v = 28/R$
B
$C_p -C_v = R/28$
C
$C_p -C_v = R/14$
D
$C_p -C_v = R$
Solution
According to Mayer's relation,
$c_{p}-c_{v}=\frac{R}{m}$
For nitrogen, $m=28$
$\therefore \quad c_{p}-C_{v}=\frac{R}{28}$
