The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to understand the relationship between the specific heats at constant pressure \( C_P \) and constant volume \( C_V \) for gases, and how they relate to the molecular weights of the gases involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relation Between \( C_P \) and \( C_V \)**: The difference between the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume is given by the equation: \[ C_P - C_V = R \] where \( R \) is the specific gas constant. 2. **Specific Heats Per Unit Mass**: For specific heats per unit mass, we can express the specific heats as: \[ C_P = \frac{R}{M} + C_V \] where \( M \) is the molecular weight of the gas. 3. **Applying the Relation to Hydrogen**: For hydrogen (molecular weight \( M_H = 2 \)): \[ C_{P,H} - C_{V,H} = R_H \] This can be expressed in terms of \( m \): \[ m = C_{P,H} - C_{V,H} = \frac{R}{M_H} = \frac{R}{2} \] 4. **Applying the Relation to Nitrogen**: For nitrogen (molecular weight \( M_N = 14 \)): \[ C_{P,N} - C_{V,N} = R_N \] This can be expressed in terms of \( n \): \[ n = C_{P,N} - C_{V,N} = \frac{R}{M_N} = \frac{R}{14} \] 5. **Finding the Relation Between \( m \) and \( n \)**: Now, we can find the ratio \( \frac{m}{n} \): \[ \frac{m}{n} = \frac{\frac{R}{2}}{\frac{R}{14}} = \frac{14}{2} = 7 \] 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the relationship between \( m \) and \( n \) is: \[ m = 7n \] ### Final Answer: The relation between \( m \) and \( n \) is \( m = 7n \). ---
