Question

Define cp and cv. Derive an expression for the ratio of c p / cv for a diatomic ga

Answer 1

u can calculate Cp/Cv by put in this expression n=5(degree of freedom of diatomic molecule)
Cv= ratio of change in heat with change in time at constant volum. Cv=(dQ/dT)v
Cp= ratio of change of heat with change in time at constant pressure. Cp=(dQ/dT)p.
