The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between \( m \) and \( n \) given the specific heat capacities of hydrogen and nitrogen. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Definitions**: - The specific heat at constant pressure is denoted as \( C_P \). - The specific heat at constant volume is denoted as \( C_V \). - The difference \( C_P - C_V \) is related to the heat added to the system and the temperature change. 2. **Given Information**: - For hydrogen: \( C_P - C_V = m \) - For nitrogen: \( C_P - C_V = n \) - Molecular weight of hydrogen (\( M_H \)) = 2 - Molecular weight of nitrogen (\( M_N \)) = 14 3. **Expressing the Heat Transfer**: - For hydrogen, we can express the heat transfer as: \[ C_P - C_V = \frac{\Delta Q}{M_H \cdot \Delta T} = m \] - For nitrogen, we can express the heat transfer as: \[ C_P - C_V = \frac{\Delta Q}{M_N \cdot \Delta T} = n \] 4. **Setting Up the Equations**: - From the equation for hydrogen: \[ \Delta Q = m \cdot M_H \cdot \Delta T = m \cdot 2 \cdot \Delta T \] - From the equation for nitrogen: \[ \Delta Q = n \cdot M_N \cdot \Delta T = n \cdot 14 \cdot \Delta T \] 5. **Equating the Two Expressions for Heat Transfer**: - Since both expressions equal \( \Delta Q \), we can set them equal to each other: \[ m \cdot 2 \cdot \Delta T = n \cdot 14 \cdot \Delta T \] 6. **Cancelling \( \Delta T \)**: - Assuming \( \Delta T \) is not zero, we can divide both sides by \( \Delta T \): \[ m \cdot 2 = n \cdot 14 \] 7. **Solving for the Relationship Between \( m \) and \( n \)**: - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ m = \frac{14}{2} n = 7n \] 8. **Conclusion**: - The relationship between \( m \) and \( n \) is: \[ m = 7n \] ### Final Answer: The relation between \( m \) and \( n \) is \( m = 7n \).
