Question

The specific heat of an ideal gas varies as

• A. $T^3$
• B. $T^2$
• C. $T^1$
• D. $T^o$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$T^o$

The specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass. The specific heat has a very negligible dependence over a large range of temperatures and can be assumed to be nearly constant.
