The specific heat of helium at constant volume is \(12.6 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\). The specific heat of helium at constant pressure in \(\mathrm{J} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) is approximately (assume, the universal gas constant, \(R=8.314 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) )

  1. A 12.6
  2. B 16.8
  3. C 18.9
  4. D 20.9

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 20.9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(C_V=12.6 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) \(R=8.314 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) By Mayer's relation, \(\begin{aligned} C_p & =C_V+R=12.6+8.314 \\ & =20.914 \approx 20.9 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \end{aligned}\)
