Solution
The correct option is Bn=14m We know that CP−CV=R (here CP and CV are the molar specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume respectively) Thus we get the relation for the specific heats per unit mass as CP−CV=mR (here M is the molecular weight of the element involved) Thus we get CP−CV=2R (for H2)
