Descibe specific heat capacity and give expression for mayers relation?
Answers
Mayer's formula is Cp - Cv = R. Here Cp is molar specific heat capacity of an ideal gas at constant pressure, Cv is its molar specific heat at constant volume and R is the gas constant. Specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the heat supplied per unit mass of that substance per unit rise in temperature.
Specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 kelvin
(SI unit of specific heat capacity J kg−1 K−1).
