Question

Define two specific heats of gas and obtain relation between them

Answer 1

molar specific heat at constant volume:it is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a gas through 1 Celsius at co nstant it is denoted by Cv. molar specific heat at constant pressure:it is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of a gas through 1 Celsius at constant pressure it is denoted by Cp. relation... between Cv and Cp

Answer 2

Answer:

for gases, specific heat capacity is known as molar specific heat capacity.

at constant volume, the quantity of heat necessary to increase the temperature of one mole of gas from 14.5°C to 15.5°C is called molar specific heat capacity Cv at constant volume.

at constant pressure, the quantity of heat necessary to increase the temperature of one mole of gas from 14.5°C to 15.5°C is called molar specific heat capacity Cp at constant pressure.

relation between these two molar specific heat capacity is Cp - Cv = R
