  • A
    polyatomic.
  • B
    rigid diatomic.
  • C

The specific heat capacities of an ideal gas at constant pressure and at constant volume are $620 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$ and $420 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$ respectively. The density of the gas at $STP$ is approximately, (in $kg \ m^{-3}$)

If $C_p$ and $C_v$ denote the specific heats of nitrogen per unit mass at constant pressure and constant volume respectively,then

$Assertion:$ At a given temperature,the specific heat of a gas at constant pressure $(C_p)$ is always greater than its specific heat at constant volume $(C_v)$.
$Reason:$ When a gas is heated at constant volume,some extra heat is needed compared to that at constant pressure for doing work in expansion.

Molar specific heat of oxygen at constant pressure $C_p = 7.2 \, cal/mol \cdot ^\circ C$ and $R = 8.3 \, J/mol \cdot K$. At constant volume,$5 \, mol$ of oxygen is heated from $10^\circ C$ to $20^\circ C$. The quantity of heat required is approximately ........ $cal$.

Match the $\frac{C_{P}}{C_{v}}$ ratio for ideal gases with different types of molecules:
Molecule type $\frac{C_{P}}{C_{v}}$
$A$. Monoatomic $I$. $\frac{7}{5}$
$B$. Diatomic rigid molecules $II$. $\frac{9}{7}$
$C$. Diatomic non-rigid molecules $III$. $\frac{4}{3}$
$D$. Triatomic rigid molecules $IV$. $\frac{5}{3}$
