Specific Heats of Gases - Cp, Cv, γ & Mayer's Relation
For a gas CP CV = R in a state P and CP CV = 1.10 R in a state Q, TP and TQ are the temperatures in two different states P and Q respectively. Then
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- holds exactly only for an ideal gas.
- A real gas behaves most ideally at high temperature (and low pressure).
- In state P the gas follows (ideal), in Q it deviates (1.10 R), so Q is at lower temperature.
- So the answer is (d) .
