The specific heat of gas

A

only two values at constant pressure and constant volume

B

only one value at a given temperature

C

any value between zero and infinity

D

None of the above is correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`C_(p)` and `C_(V)` are two specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume. Generally , a gas can have any value between zero and infinity.
Specific heat `= ("heat energy")/("mass " xx "temperature change")`
Under isothermal conditions, temperature change = 0,
`therefore` Specific heat = 0
