If the specific heats of a monoatomic gas and a diatomic gas are the same, which relation is valid?

  • A
    $C_P(\text{mono}) = C_P(\text{dia})$
  • B
    $C_P(\text{mono}) = C_V(\text{dia})$
  • C
    $C_V(\text{mono}) = C_V(\text{dia})$
  • D
    $C_V(\text{mono}) = C_P(\text{dia})$

$Assertion:$ At a given temperature,the specific heat of a gas at constant pressure $(C_p)$ is always greater than its specific heat at constant volume $(C_v)$.
$Reason:$ When a gas is heated at constant volume,some extra heat is needed compared to that at constant pressure for doing work in expansion.

The specific heat of a gas at constant volume is $21.2 \, J/mol/^{\circ}C$. If the temperature is increased by $1^{\circ}C$ keeping the volume constant,the change in its internal energy will be ...... $J$.

Molar specific heat of oxygen at constant pressure $C_p = 7.2 \, cal/mol \cdot ^\circ C$ and $R = 8.3 \, J/mol \cdot K$. At constant volume,$5 \, mol$ of oxygen is heated from $10^\circ C$ to $20^\circ C$. The quantity of heat required is approximately ........ $cal$.

$A$ certain amount of an ideal monatomic gas needs $20 \, J$ of heat energy to raise its temperature by $10^{\circ} C$ at constant pressure. The heat needed for the same temperature rise at constant volume will be ........ $J$.

The value of the gas constant $(R)$ calculated from the perfect gas equation is $8.32 \ J/mol \cdot K$,whereas its value calculated from the knowledge of $C_P$ and $C_V$ of the gas is $1.98 \ cal/mol \cdot K$. From this data,the value of $J$ is ......... $J/cal$.
