The two specific heat capacities of a gas measured as `C_p = (12.28 +- 0.2)` units and `(C_(upsilon) = (3.97 +-0.3)` units. Find the value of gas constant R.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `C_p = (12.28 +- 0.2)units`
`C_(upsilon) = (3.97 +-0.3)units, R = ?`
As `R = C_p - C_(upsilon)`
`:. R = 12.28 - 3.97 = 8.31units`
`DeltaR = +-(DeltaC_p + DeltaC_(upsilon) = +-(0.2 + 0.3) =+-0.5units`
`Here, R = (8.31 +- 0.5)units`

The specific heats of a gas are measured as C_p = (12.28 +-0.2) units and C_(upsilon =(3.97 +- 03) units. Find the value of gas constant R and percentage error in R.

Specific heat at constant pressure C_P of a gas

The ratio of specific heats of a gas is 1.4. if the value of C_(V) is 20.8 J/mol K, then the C_(P) is

The molar specific heat of an ideal gas at constant pressure and constant volume is C_(p) and C_(v) respectively. If R is the universal gas constant and the ratio of C_(p) to C_(v) is gamma , then C_(v) .

(a) Define two specific heats of a gas. Why is C_(p) gt C_(v) ? (b) Shown that for an ideal gas, C_(p) = C_(v) +(R )/(J)

The difference between the two specific heat capacities (at constant pressure and volume) of a gas is 5000 J kg^(-1) K^(-1) and the ratio of these specific heat capacities, i.e., C_(V) and C_(p) .

The constant volume molar heat capacity of an ideal gas is expressed by C_(v, m) = 16.5 +10^(-2)T (All values are in SI units). If 2.5 mol of this gsa at constant value is heated from 27^(@)C ro 127^(@)C , the internal energy increases by ''x'' kJ. Hence, x is

The molar heat capacity of a gas at constant volume is found to be 5 cal mol^(-1) K^(-1) . Find the ratio gamma = C_p/C_v for the gas. The gas constant R=2 cal mol^(-1) K^(-1).
