Cv and Cp denote the molar specific heat capacities of a gas at constant volume and constant pressure,
respectively. Then
(A) Cp −Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas.
(B) Cp + Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas.
(C) Cp/Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas.
(D) Cp. Cv is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas.

Read Solution (Total 1)

We know, Cp-Cv =R ( Eq 1)(R is universal gas constant)
Also, Cp/Cv =1+2/f (Eq 2)(f is translational degree of freedom)
Hence, f(mono)=3 Cv(mono)= 3R/2 Cp(mono)= 5R/2
f(di)=5 Cv(di)=5R/2 Cp(di)=7R/2
f(poly)=6 Cv(poly)= 3R Cp(poly)= 4R

(C) 16 m/s (D) 21.33 m/s A student performed the experiment of determination of focal length of a concave mirror by u â€“ v method using an optical bench of length 1.5 meter. The focal length of the mirror used is 24 cm. The maximum error in the location of the image can be 0.2 cm. The 5 sets of (u, v) values recorded by the student (in cm) are: (42, 56), (48, 48), (60, 40), (66, 33), (78, 39).
