9. What specifications should an ideal gas follow? How are C p and Cv related
for ideal gas?
- An ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of a set of randomlymoving, non-interacting point particles. The ideal gas concept is useful
because it obeys the ideal gas law, a simplified equation of state, and is
amenable to analysis under statistical mechanics. Using the definition of
enthalpy (h = u + Pv) and writing the differential of enthalpy, the
relationship between the specific heats for ideal gases is
h=u+ Pv
dh=du+d ( RT )
C p dT =C v dT + RdT
C p =C v + R
10. What are the CP and CV values for Air, CO2 and O2 at 350K, 600K and
900K? State the units of C P and CV. What is the value of the ratio of specific
heats for Air, CO2 and O2 at 350K, 600K and 900K? Assume Air, CO 2 and O2 to
be ideal gases.
- The following tables are the C p, CV and k values for Air, CO 2 and O2 at
different temperatures:

11. Is Internal Energy a point or a path function? Is work done a point or path
function?
Internal Energy is a state function, and the work done is a path
function.
