If the degree of freedom of a gas is $f,$ then the ratio of two specific heats ${C_P}/{C_V}$ is given by

$310 \ J$ of heat is required to raise the temperature of $2 \ moles$ of an ideal gas at constant pressure from $25^{\circ} C$ to $35^{\circ} C$. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the gas through the same range at constant volume is (in $J$)

If $c_p$ and $c_v$ denote the specific heats (per unit mass) of an ideal gas of molecular weight $M$,then which of the following relations holds true,where $R$ is the molar gas constant?

The specific heat of a gas at constant pressure $(C_p)$ is more than that of the same gas at constant volume $(C_v)$ because
