Q.

The specific heat at constant volume is

  • AThe amount of heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass of gas through one degree, at constant volume
  • BThe amount of heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass of gas through one degree, at constant pressure
  • CThe amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water through one degree
  • DAny one of the above
Correct Answer : (A)

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass of gas through one degree, at constant volume

Hints :
Previous

The kinetic energy per kg molecule of any gas at absolute temperature T is equal to (where Ru = Universal gas constant)

Next

Kinetic theory of gases assumes that the collisions between the molecules are
