Cp - Cv for an ideal gas is equal to________________?

Correct answer: A. R

  • A. R
  • B. R/2
  • C. 2R
  • D. 3R

Explanation

For an ideal gas, the enthalpy relation gives Cp − Cv = R, where R is the gas constant on a consistent mass or molar basis. This difference represents the extra energy associated with expansion work at constant pressure.
