$c_P$ and $c_V$ are specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume respectively. It is observed that
$c_P - c_V = a$ for hydrogen gas
$c_P - c_V = b$ for nitrogen gas
The correct relation between $a$ and $b$ is

  • A
    $a = \frac{1}{14}b$
  • B
    $a = b$
  • C
    $a = 14b$
  • D
    $a = 28b$
