The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between \( a \) and \( b \) given the specific heats \( C_p \) and \( C_v \) for hydrogen and nitrogen gases. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Definitions**: - \( C_p \): Specific heat at constant pressure. - \( C_v \): Specific heat at constant volume. - The relationship between \( C_p \) and \( C_v \) for any ideal gas is given by: \[ C_p - C_v = R \] where \( R \) is the universal gas constant. 2. **Given Information**: - For hydrogen gas: \[ C_p - C_v = a \] - For nitrogen gas: \[ C_p = C_v = b \] 3. **Expressing \( a \) for Hydrogen**: - From the relationship \( C_p - C_v = R \), we can express \( a \) for hydrogen: \[ a = R \] - The molar mass of hydrogen (\( H_2 \)) is 2 g/mol. 4. **Expressing \( b \) for Nitrogen**: - For nitrogen gas, since \( C_p = C_v = b \), we can also use the same relationship: \[ C_p - C_v = R \implies b - b = 0 \] - However, we need to find \( b \) in terms of \( R \). The molar mass of nitrogen (\( N_2 \)) is 28 g/mol. 5. **Relating \( a \) and \( b \)**: - For hydrogen, we can express \( a \) in terms of molar mass: \[ a = \frac{R}{M_H} = \frac{R}{2} \] - For nitrogen, we express \( b \): \[ b = \frac{R}{M_N} = \frac{R}{28} \] 6. **Finding the Ratio \( \frac{a}{b} \)**: - Now, we can find the ratio \( \frac{a}{b} \): \[ \frac{a}{b} = \frac{\frac{R}{2}}{\frac{R}{28}} = \frac{28}{2} = 14 \] - Thus, we can express \( a \) in terms of \( b \): \[ a = 14b \] ### Conclusion: The correct relation between \( a \) and \( b \) is: \[ a = 14b \]
