The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and constant volume are denoted by $C_P$ and $C_V$ respectively. If $\gamma = C_P/C_V$ and $R$ is the universal gas constant,then $C_V = $ ........

  • A
    $\frac{R}{\gamma - 1}$
  • B
    $\frac{\gamma - 1}{R}$
  • C
    $\gamma R$
  • D

What amount of heat (in $J$) must be supplied to $2.0 \times 10^{-2} \; kg$ of nitrogen (at room temperature) to raise its temperature by $45 \; ^{\circ}C$ at constant pressure? (Molecular mass of $N_{2} = 28; R = 8.3 \; J \; mol^{-1} K^{-1}$.)

$310 \ J$ of heat is required to raise the temperature of $2 \ moles$ of an ideal gas at constant pressure from $25^{\circ} C$ to $35^{\circ} C$. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the gas through the same range at constant volume is (in $J$)

The values of $C_P$ and $C_V$ for a gas were measured by three different students. The unit is $\text{cal/g mol-K}$. Which set is the most reliable?

To increase the temperature of $2$ moles of an ideal gas by $30^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$ at constant pressure,$70 \, cal$ of heat is required. How much heat energy in $cal$ is required to increase the temperature by the same amount at constant volume? $(R = 2 \, cal/mol \cdot K)$

For a rigid diatomic molecule,the universal gas constant $R = n C_P$,where $C_P$ is the molar specific heat at constant pressure and $n$ is a number. Hence,$n$ is equal to
