Homework Statement
1) According to Mayer’s equation,
C(p) – C(v) = R ------------ (1)
Where C(p) = specific heat at constant pressure
C(v) = specific heat at constant volume
R = Universal gas constant
But sometimes the above equation is used in the following way,
C(p) – C(v) = R/J ---------------- (2)
Where C(p) = gram molecular specific heat of the gas at constant pressure
C(v) = gram molecular specific heat of the gas at constant volume
R = Universal gas constant
J = Mechanical equivalent of heat
