Question:

Which one of the following is the correct relation between Cp and Cv for one mole of an ideal gas? (R is molar gas constant)

Updated On: Apr 3, 2025
  • Cp=Cv-R
  • Cp=Cv+R
  • Cp=R-Cv
  • Cp=Cv×R
  • \(C_P=\frac{C_V}{R}\)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

For an ideal gas, the relation between the heat capacities at constant pressure (\(C_P\)) and constant volume (\(C_V\)) is given by: \[ C_P - C_V = R \] where \( R \) is the universal gas constant. Therefore, the correct relation between \( C_P \) and \( C_V \) is: \[ C_P = C_V + R \]

The correct option is (B) : \(C_p=C_v+R\)
