The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by $C_{P}$ and $C_{V}$ respectively. If $\gamma = \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}$ and $R$ is the universal gas constant,then $C_{V}$ is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{R}{\gamma - 1}$
  • B
    $\frac{\gamma - 1}{R}$
  • C
    $\gamma R$
  • D
    $\frac{\gamma + 1}{\gamma - 1}$

The equation of a certain gas can be written as: $\left( \frac{T^7}{P^2} \right)^{1/5} = \text{constant}$. The specific heat at constant volume of this gas is (in $\text{J/mol K}$): (in $R$)

The amount of heat that must be supplied to $35 \ g$ of oxygen at room temperature to raise its temperature by $80^{\circ} C$ at constant volume is (molecular mass of oxygen is $32$ and $R = 8.3 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$) (in $kJ$)
