Question:

The value of CP - Cv = 1.00 R for a gas in state A and CP - Cv = 1.06 R in another state. If PA and PB denote the pressure and TA and TB denote the temperatures in the two states, then : 

Options:

PA = PB, TA > TB

PA > PB, TA = TB

PA < PB, TA > TB

PA = PB, TA < TB

Correct Answer:

PA < PB, TA > TB

Explanation:

For state A : Cp - Cv = R 

i.e. the gas behaves as an ideal gas.

For state B : Cp - Cv = 1.06 R (R \(\geq\)

i.e. the gas does not behave like an ideal gas.

We know that at high temperature and low pressure, nature of gas may be ideal.

So, we can sat that PA < PB and TA > TB
