The ratio of molar specific heats of oxygen is

  1. A \(1.4\)
  2. B \(1.67\)
  3. C \(1.33\)
  4. D \(1.28\)
Verified Solution

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 \(\mathrm{O}_2, \quad f=5\)
\(\therefore \quad \gamma=1+\frac{2}{5}=1+0.4=1.4\)
