The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by Cp and Cv, respectively. If γ = Cp/Cv and R is the universal gas constant, then Cv is equal to
-
-
R γ - 1 -
(γ - 1) R - γR
-
1 + γ 1 - γ
-
Correct Option: A
Cp – Cv = R ⇒ Cp = Cv + R
| ∵ γ = | = | ⇒ | + | ||||
| Cv | Cv | Cv | Cv |
| ⇒ γ = 1 + | ⇒ | = γ - 1 | ||
| Cv | Cv |
| ⇒ Cv = | ||
