Question

The molar heat capacity for an ideal gas 

(a) is zero for an adiabatic process 

(b) is infinite for an isothermal process 

(c) depends only on the nature of the gas for a process in which either volume or pressure is constant 

(d) is equal to the product of the molecular weight and specific heat capacity for any process

Answer 1

Correct Answer is: (a, b, c, & d)

 The molar heat capacity has the general definition

C = 1/n . ΔQ/ΔT ,

where n = number of moles, ΔQ = heat absorbed by the gas and ΔT = rise in temperature of gas.

It is possible to obtain almost any set of values for ΔQ and ΔT by proper selection of a process.
