Question

Find the ratio of specific gas constant for $H_2$ to the specific gas constant for $O_2$?

• A. $16:1$
• B. $1:16$
• C. $1:1$
• D. $1:8$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $16:1$

We know,
$R_{\text{specific}}=\frac{R}{M}$
Where $M=$ Molar mass
$\therefore \frac{R_{\text{specific}\left(H_2\right)}}{R_{\text{specific}\left(O_2\right)}}=\frac{M_{O_2}}{M_{H_2}}=\frac{32}{2}=16$
