The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the specific heat of a gaseous system and identify the incorrect statement, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Specific Heat**: - Specific heat (S) is defined as the amount of heat (Q) required to change the temperature of a unit mass (m) of a substance by one degree Celsius (ΔT). - The formula for specific heat is given by: \[ S = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T} \] 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - Option A states: "Specific heat under no exchange condition is that \( C_A = 0 \)". - Under no heat exchange, \( Q = 0 \). Therefore, if \( Q = 0 \), then: \[ S = \frac{0}{m \Delta T} = 0 \] - This statement is correct. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - Option B states: "Specific heat at constant temperature \( C_T \) is equal to infinity". - At constant temperature, the change in temperature \( \Delta T = 0 \). Thus: \[ S = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T} \rightarrow S = \frac{Q}{m \cdot 0} \] - Since division by zero is undefined, we can interpret this as \( S \) tending to infinity. This statement is also correct. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - Option C states: "Specific heat at constant pressure \( C_p = \frac{\gamma R}{\gamma - 1} \)". - We know that \( \gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} \). Therefore, we can express \( C_p \) in terms of \( C_v \): \[ C_p = C_v + R \] - Substituting \( \gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} \) into the equation: \[ C_p = \frac{C_p R}{C_p - R} \] - After simplifying, we find that this relationship holds true. Thus, this statement is correct. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - Option D states: "Specific heat at constant volume \( C_v = \frac{R}{\gamma} \)". - Using \( \gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} \), we can rearrange this to find \( C_v \): \[ C_v = \frac{R}{\gamma} \rightarrow C_v = \frac{R C_v}{C_p} \] - This does not hold true as it leads to a contradiction. Thus, this statement is incorrect. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement about the specific heat of a gaseous system is **Option D**: \( C_v = \frac{R}{\gamma} \). ---
