If the ratio of principal specific heat ...

If the ratio of principal specific heat capacities of a certain gas is 1:4 and its density at STP is 0.09 `kgm^(-3)` calculate the values of specific heat capacity at constant pressure and constant volume. [Standard atmospheric pressure `=1.01 xx 10 ^(5) Nm ^(-2)`

To solve the problem, we need to find the specific heat capacities at constant pressure (\(C_p\)) and constant volume (\(C_v\)) for the gas, given the ratio of the specific heat capacities (\(\gamma\)) and the density at standard temperature and pressure (STP). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values**: - Ratio of specific heat capacities: \(\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} = \frac{1}{4}\) - Density at STP: \(\rho = 0.09 \, \text{kg/m}^3\) - Standard atmospheric pressure: \(P = 1.01 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/m}^2\) ...
