The molar specific heat capacity at constant pressure of an ideal gas in 
. The ratio of specific heat capacity at constant pressure to that at constant volume is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Molar specific heat capacity at constant pressure is 
. Mayer’s relation can be written as follows: Molar specific heat capacity at constant pressure 
‐ Molar specific heat capacity at constant volume 
Gas constant ( R )
That is, 
(since 
)
Hence, the required ratio is
