4.0 g of a gas occupies 22.4 litres at NTP. The specific heat capacity of the gas at constant volume is 5.0 "JK"^(-1) "mol"^(-1). If the speed of sound in this gas at NTP is 952 "ms"^(-1) , then the heat capacity at constant pressure is _____ (R=8.3 "JK"^(1) "mol"^(-1))

Answer»

`8.5 "JK"^(-1) "MOL"^(-1)`
`8.0 "JK"^(-1) "mol"^(-1)`
`7.5 "JK"^(-1) "mol"^(-1)`
`7.0 "JK"^(-1) "mol"^(-1)`

Solution :VELOCITY of SOUND ,
`v=sqrt((gammaRT)/M)`
`therefore gamma=(mv^2)/(RT)`
`=(4xx10^(-3)xx(952)^2)/(8.3xx273)`
`=3625.2/2265.9`
`therefore gamma=1.599`
`therefore gamma approx` 1.6
`therefore` The HEAT capacity at constant pressure ,
`C_P=gammaC_V=1.6xx5.0=8.0 "JK"^(1) "mol"^(-1)`
