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)
- Cp=Cv-R
- Cp=Cv+R
- Cp=R-Cv
- Cp=Cv×R
- \(C_P=\frac{C_V}{R}\)
The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
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) : \(C_p=C_v+R\)
Approach Solution -2
For one mole of an ideal gas, the correct relation between the molar specific heats at constant pressure (Cp) and constant volume (Cv) is given by the equation: Cp = Cv + R Where R is the universal gas constant. This is derived from the first law of thermodynamics and the definitions of specific heat capacities.

- An ideal gas exists in a state with pressure \( P_0 \), volume \( V_0 \). It is isothermally expanded to 4 times of its initial volume \( (V_0) \), then isobarically compressed to its original volume. Finally the system is heated isochorically to bring it to its initial state. The amount of heat exchanged in this process is :

A piston of mass M is hung from a massless spring whose restoring force law goes as F = -kx, where k is the spring constant of appropriate dimension. The piston separates the vertical chamber into two parts, where the bottom part is filled with 'n' moles of an ideal gas. An external work is done on the gas isothermally (at a constant temperature T) with the help of a heating filament (with negligible volume) mounted in lower part of the chamber, so that the piston goes up from a height $ L_0 $ to $ L_1 $, the total energy delivered by the filament is (Assume spring to be in its natural length before heating)

- There are two vessels filled with an ideal gas where volume of one is double the volume of the other. The large vessel contains the gas at 8 kPa at 1000 K while the smaller vessel contains the gas at 7 kPa at 500 K. If the vessels are connected to each other by a thin tube allowing the gas to flow and the temperature of both vessels is maintained at 600 K, at steady state the pressure in the vessels will be (in kPa).
