JEE Main & Advanced Physics Kinetic Theory of Gases Question Bank Topic Test - Kinetic Theory Of Gases-2

  • question_answer
    The following sets of values for \[{{C}_{V}}\] and \[{{C}_{P}}\] of a gas has been reported by different students. The units are cal/gm-mole-K. Which of these sets is most reliable

    A) \[{{C}_{v}}=3,\,{{C}_{p}}=5\]

    B) \[{{C}_{V}}=4,\,{{C}_{P}}=6\]

    C) \[{{C}_{v}}=3,\,{{C}_{p}}=2\]

    D) \[{{C}_{V}}=3,\,{{C}_{P}}=4.2\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[{{C}_{P}}-{{C}_{V}}=R=2.\frac{cal}{gm\text{-}mol\text{-}K}\] which is correct for option [a] and [b]. Further the ratio \[\frac{{{C}_{P}}}{{{C}_{V}}}(=\gamma )\] should equal to some standard value corresponding to that of either, mono, di, or triatomic gases. From this point of view option [a] is correct because \[{{\left( \frac{{{C}_{P}}}{{{C}_{V}}} \right)}_{mono}}=\frac{5}{3}\]
