Specific Heats of Gases - Cp, Cv, γ & Mayer's Relation

If CpC_p and CvC_v denote the specific heats of nitrogen per unit mass at constant pressure and constant volume respectively, then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Per unit mass: Cp−Cv=RMC_p - C_v = \dfrac{R}{M}.
  2. For N2N_2, M=28M = 28, so Cp−Cv=R28C_p - C_v = \dfrac{R}{28}.
  3. So the answer is (b) R/28R/28.
