The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( x \) given the specific heat capacities \( C_P \) and \( C_V \) of a gas, along with the gas constant \( R \). The relationship between these quantities is given by the equation: \[ C_P - C_V = R \] ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the values of \( C_P \) and \( C_V \)**: - Given: \[ C_P = 12.28 \pm 0.2 \quad \text{units} \] \[ C_V = 3.97 \pm 0.3 \quad \text{units} \] 2. **Calculate \( C_P - C_V \)**: - Using the values of \( C_P \) and \( C_V \): \[ C_P - C_V = 12.28 - 3.97 \] - Performing the subtraction: \[ C_P - C_V = 8.31 \quad \text{units} \] 3. **Determine the error in \( R \)**: - The error in \( R \) is calculated by adding the absolute errors of \( C_P \) and \( C_V \): \[ \Delta R = \Delta C_P + \Delta C_V \] - Substituting the errors: \[ \Delta R = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5 \quad \text{units} \] 4. **Express \( R \) with its error**: - We can express \( R \) as: \[ R = 8.31 \pm 0.5 \quad \text{units} \] - This can be written in the form \( 8.31 \pm 0.x \) where \( x = 5 \). 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the value of \( x \) is: \[ x = 5 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( x \) is \( 5 \).
