    If y is the ratio of specific heats and R is the universal gas constant, then the molar specific heat at constant volume \[{{C}_{v}}\]is given by

    A)  \[\gamma R\]

    B)  \[\frac{\left( \gamma -1 \right)R}{\gamma }\]

    C)  \[\frac{R}{\gamma -1}\]

    D)  \[\frac{\gamma R}{\gamma -1}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    From the Mayers formula \[{{C}_{p}}-{{C}_{v}}=R\] ...(i) and          \[\gamma =\frac{{{C}_{p}}}{{{C}_{v}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\gamma Cv=Cp\] ...(ii) Substituting Eq. (ii) in Eq. (i), we get \[\gamma Cv-Cv=R\] \[Cv=\frac{R}{\gamma -1}\]
