"The Specific Heat of an Ideal Gas at Constant Pressure

question 35

Multiple Choice

"The specific heat of an ideal gas at constant pressure C_p is greater than the specific heat of a gas at constant volume C_v." Which of the following describes this statement?

• A)The statement is true because there is always more gas at constant pressure.
• B)The statement is true because,to raise the temperature of a gas at constant pressure,work must be done by the gas.
• C)The statement is true because,to raise the temperature of a gas at constant volume,work must be done by the gas.
• D)The statement is not true; C_v > C_p.
• E)The statement is not true; C_p = C_v.
