The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the specific heats at constant pressure (`C_p`) and constant volume (`C_v`) for hydrogen and nitrogen gases. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the relationship between `C_p` and `C_v`:** The difference between specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume for any gas is given by the equation: \[ C_p - C_v = R/M \] where \( R \) is the universal gas constant and \( M \) is the molar mass of the gas. 2. **For Hydrogen Gas:** We are given that: \[ C_p - C_v = a \] For hydrogen, the molar mass \( M \) is approximately 2 g/mol. Therefore, we can write: \[ a = \frac{R}{2} \] 3. **For Nitrogen Gas:** We are also given that: \[ C_p - C_v = b \] For nitrogen, the molar mass \( M \) is approximately 28 g/mol. Thus, we can write: \[ b = \frac{R}{28} \] 4. **Finding the relationship between `a` and `b`:** We can now relate `a` and `b` using the equations derived: \[ \frac{a}{b} = \frac{\frac{R}{2}}{\frac{R}{28}} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ \frac{a}{b} = \frac{R}{2} \cdot \frac{28}{R} = \frac{28}{2} = 14 \] Therefore, we can express this as: \[ a = 14b \] 5. **Conclusion:** The correct relation between `a` and `b` is: \[ a = 14b \] ### Final Answer: The correct relation between `a` and `b` is \( a = 14b \).
