Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(a=14b\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know, \(C_P-C_v=E\) where \(C_p\) and \(C_v\) are molar specific heat capacities

or,   \({C_P} - {C_v} = \frac{R}{M}\)

For hydrogen \((M = 2){C_p} - {C_v} = a = \frac{R}{2}\)

\(For\,nitrogen\left( {M = 28} \right){C_p} - {C_v} = b = \frac{R}{{28}}\)

\(\therefore \,\frac{a}{b} = 14\,\,or,\,\,a = 14b\)
