Question

for a gas with n degree ,what will be the value of cp/cv​

Answer 1

Answer:

The specific heat of gas at constant volume in terms of degree of freedom 'n' is:Cv = (n/2)R;Also, Cp - Cv = R So, Cp = (n/2)R + R =R(1 + n/2)Now, gamma = Cp/Cv = R(1+n/2)/((n/2)R) = 2/n + 1So, Cp/Cv = (1 + 2/n), where n is degree of freedom.
