Question

The specific heat of an ideal gas is proportional to

• A. $T^{\circ }$
• B. $T^{-1}$
• C. $T^{1/2}$
• D. $T^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $T^{\circ }$

Solution: Those gases which are independent of temperature are called perfect gases. For these gases, $C_p$ and $C_v$ are constant. According to equilibrium theorem, for an ideal gas molar heat capacities should be temperature independent. So, for an ideal gas specific heat is independent of temperature.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
