Cp = 1005J/kg k AND Cv = 718 J/kg k.
But Cp-Cv = R therefore R = 287 J/kg k.
But Cp-Cv = R therefore R = 287 J/kg k.

This is not true.
pv = nRT, R = pv/nT = 1atm*22.4L/6.02*10(23 is the power of)*273.15K.
= 8.3L.atm/mol.K
cp/cv = R, this "R" is molar gas. not gas constant.

The question is R for air.
The universal gas constant value is R' = 8.314 Kj/Kg.K.
Gas constant R = R'/M (molecular mass of that gas).
For air molecular mass = 29 (0.78*28 + 0.21*32).
So R = 8.314/29 = 0.287 Kj/Kg. K or 287 J/Kg. K.

1005J/kg k AND Cv = 718 J/kg k.
But Cp-Cv = R.
1005-7158 = 287.
Therefore R = 287 J/kg k.
But Cp-Cv = R.
1005-7158 = 287.
Therefore R = 287 J/kg k.

Hi, the Cp & Cv values are different for different material.

0.287 Kj/Kg is correct answer.

287j/kgk is the correct answer.

287 j/ kg k is the gas constant only for air.

Why are universal gas constant and gas constant for a particular gas used separately in different problems?which one is used where? Can anybody explain, please?

Universal gas constant is same for all gases. But gas constant also varied for different gas.
