C(v) denotes the molar specific heat of ...

`C_(v)` denotes the molar specific heat of a gas at constant volume and `gamma` is the adiabatic constant, then the universal gas constant R is given by

A

`C_(v)[gamma-1]`

B

`C_(v)=[1/gamma-1]`

C

`C_(v)[1-gamma]`

D

`C_(v)=[1-1/gamma]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`C_(p)=gammaC_(v)andC_(p)-C_(v)=R`
`thereforegammaC_(v)-C_(v)=R" "thereforeC_(v)(gamma-1)=R`
