The ratio of molar specific heats of oxygen is
- A \(1.4\)
- B \(1.67\)
- C \(1.33\)
- D \(1.28\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(1.4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The ratio of molar specific heats ( \(C_p\) and \(C_V\) ) is
\(\gamma=1+\frac{2}{f}\)
For \(\mathrm{O}_2, \quad f=5\)
\(\therefore \quad \gamma=1+\frac{2}{5}=1+0.4=1.4\)
\(\gamma=1+\frac{2}{f}\)
For \(\mathrm{O}_2, \quad f=5\)
\(\therefore \quad \gamma=1+\frac{2}{5}=1+0.4=1.4\)
