The specific heat of helium at constant volume is 12.6 \(\mathrm{Jmol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\). The specific heat of helium at constant pressure in \(\mathrm{Jmol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) is about (Assume the temperature of the gas is moderate, universal gas constant, \(R=8.314 \mathrm{Jmol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(12.6\)
  2. B \(16.8\)
  3. C \(18.9\)
  4. D \(21\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(21\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As \(C_V=12.6 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) is given in SI unit So, \(R=8314 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) Then, \(C_p=C_V+R=12.6+8.314=21\)
