Gas Laws & Ideal Gas Equation

For hydrogen gas CP−CV=aC_P - C_V = a and for oxygen gas CP−CV=bC_P - C_V = b, so the relation between aa and bb is given by

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Mayer's relation for molar specific heats of any ideal gas: CP−CV=RC_P - C_V = R.
  2. It does not depend on the gas, so a=Ra = R for hydrogen and b=Rb = R for oxygen.
  3. So the answer is (d) a=ba = b.
