The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the specific heat at constant volume (Cv) given the difference between the specific heats (Cp - Cv) and the ratio of the specific heats (Cp/Cv). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information:** - The difference between specific heats: \( Cp - Cv = 4150 \, \text{J/kg K} \) - The ratio of specific heats: \( \frac{Cp}{Cv} = 1.4 \) 2. **Express Cp in terms of Cv:** - From the ratio \( \frac{Cp}{Cv} = 1.4 \), we can express Cp as: \[ Cp = 1.4 \times Cv \] 3. **Substitute Cp in the Difference Equation:** - Now substitute the expression for Cp into the difference equation: \[ (1.4 \times Cv) - Cv = 4150 \] 4. **Simplify the Equation:** - Combine like terms: \[ 1.4Cv - Cv = 4150 \] \[ 0.4Cv = 4150 \] 5. **Solve for Cv:** - Now, solve for Cv by dividing both sides by 0.4: \[ Cv = \frac{4150}{0.4} \] \[ Cv = 10375 \, \text{J/kg K} \] 6. **Conclusion:** - The specific heat at constant volume \( Cv \) is \( 10375 \, \text{J/kg K} \). ### Final Answer: The specific heat at constant volume of the gas is \( 10375 \, \text{J/kg K} \). ---
