Q21 / 46 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Kinetic Theory of Gases

If for hydrogen CP-CV=m and for the nitrogen CP-CV=n, where CP and Cv refer to specific heat per unit mass at constant pressure and specific heat per unit mass at constant volume respectively. The relation between m and n is

  • Correct answer
    A
    m=14n
  • B
    n=7n
  • C
    m=9n
  • D
    n=16n

Solution

Here, for hydrogen Cp-Cv=m=R2

Or R=2m

And for nitrogen, Cp-Cv=n=R28 or R=28n

∴ 2m=28n

m=14n

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
