Assertion : The ratio C(P)// C(upsilon) ...

Assertion : The ratio `C_(P)// C_(upsilon)` for a diatomic gas is more than that for a monoatomic gas.
Reason : The moleculess of a monoatomic gas have more degrees of freedom than those of a diatomic gas.

A

If, both Assertion and reason are ture and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both, Assertion and reason are true but Reason is not a correct expationation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

If Both, Assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For a monoatomic gas, no of degree of freedom `n=3`, and for a diatomic gas, `n=5`.
As, `(C_p)/(C_(upsilon))= gamma = 1+(2)/(n) :. ((C_p)/(C_(upsilon))_(mono) gt ((C_p)/(C_(upsilon))_(di)`
Both the assertion and reason are false.
