1. When the gas is heated at constant volume. there is no work done against external pressure. 

2. Hence, all the supplied heat is used in raising the temperature of the gas. 

3. But when the gas is heated at constant pressure, volume of the gas changes. 

4. Due to this, part of the supplied heat is used by the gas to expand against external pressure and remaining part of heat supplied is used to raise the temperature. 

5. Because of this, for the same rise in temperature, the heat to be supplied at constant pressure is greater than that for heating at constant volume. 

Hence, specific heat capacity of a gas at constant pressure is greater than specific heat capacity at constant volume.

Nitrogen gas is filled in a container of volume 2.32 L at 32°C and 4.7 atm pressure. Calculate the number of moles of the gas.

Given :  V = 2.32 L,  P = 4.7 atm,  T = 32°C = 32 + 273.15 K  = 305.15 K  R = 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1 To find :  n = number of moles of...

State the relation between principal specific heat capacity and molar specific heat capacity for a gas.

Molar specific heat capacity = Molecular weight × principal specific heat capacity. i.e. CV = μ × SP and CV = μ × SV where, μ is the molecular weight of the gas. [Note: Symbols (SV) and...

Equimolar mixture of two gases \( A_{2} \) and \( B_{2} \) is taken in a rigid vessel at temperature \( 300 K \). The gases reacts according to given equations : \[ \begin{array}{ll} A_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 A(g) & K_{P_{1}}=? \\ B_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons & K_{P_{2}}=? \\ A_{2}(g)+B_{2}(g) & \rightleftharpoons 2 A B(g) & K_{P_{3}}=2 \end{array} \] If the initial pressure in the container was 2 atm and final pressure developed at equilibrium is \( 2.75 atm \). in which equilibrium partial pressure of gas \( A B \) was \( 0.5 atm \), calculate the ratio of \( \frac{ K _{ p _{2}}}{ K _{ p _{1}}} \). [Given : Degree of dissociation of \( B_{2} \) is greateı than \( A _{2} \) ].

this is the solution!!!!
