Question

For hydrogen gas Cp - Cv = a and for oxygen gas Cp - Cv = b. Then the relationship between a and b is? Cp and Cv are gram specific heat. Ans is a =16b. Please explain how?

Answer 1

Solution :-

Given, Cp-Cv= a for Hydrogen gas
Cp-Cv = b for Oxygen gas

relation between specific heat per unit mass:-

Cp-Cv=r

Cp-Cv= R/M

r= R/M


Here, M = molecular weight.

hydrogen gas :-

Cp-Cv = a

a = R/M

a = R/2

oxygen gas :-

Cp-Cv = b

b = R/M

b = R/32

ratio of a and b :-

a/b = (R/2)/(R/32)

=> 16

ratio of a and b = a = 16b Ans.
