Physics Question on Thermodynamics

The molar specific heat at constant pressure of an ideal gas is (7/2)R. The ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to that at constant volume is :-

A

44811

B

44747

C

44780

D

44688

Answer

44747

Explanation

Solution

CP=72RC _{ P }=\frac{7}{2} R
CV=CPR=52R\Rightarrow C _{ V }= C _{ P }- R =\frac{5}{2} R
γ=CPCV\Rightarrow \gamma=\frac{ C _{ P }}{ C _{ V }}
=75=\frac{7}{5}
