STANDARD Physics Specific Heat Capacities MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

For a gas of molecular weight M, specific heat capacity at constant pressure is γ = rac{C_p}{C_v}

A

R / (γ - 1)

B

γR / (γ - 1)

C

γR / M(γ - 1)

D

γRM / (γ - 1)

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

According to Meyer's relation, CpCv=RC_p - C_v = R. Therefore, the specific heat capacity at constant pressure can be expressed as rac{γR}{M(γ - 1)}.
