    The molar specific heat at constant pressure of an ideal gas is (7/2)R. The ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to that at constant volume is: [AIPMT (S) 2006]

    A)  7/5      

    B)       8/7

    C)                   5/7                              

    D)  9/7

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We have given molar specific heat at constant pressure \[{{C}_{P}}=\frac{7}{2}R\]
    Mayor’s relation can be written as:
    Molar specific heat at constant pressure
    Molar specific heat at constant volume = Gas constant
    i.e.,       \[{{C}_{P}}-{{C}_{V}}=R\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{C}_{V}}={{C}_{P}}-R\]
                \[=\frac{7}{2}R-R=\frac{5}{2}\,R\]
    Hence, required ratio is
    \[\gamma =\frac{{{C}_{P}}}{{{C}_{V}}}=\frac{(7/2)\,R}{(5/2)\,R}=\frac{7}{3}\]
