Class 11PhysicsKinetic Theory of GasesMolar Specific Heat of gas and relation between them (Mayer's formula)
MediumFor hydrogen gas,$C_P - C_V = a$,and for oxygen gas,$C_P - C_V = b$. The relationship between $a$ and $b$ is given by: (where $C_P$ and $C_V$ are molar specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume,respectively.)
- A$a = 16b$
- B$b = 16a$
- C$a = 4b$
- D$a = b$
