W = Pdv in constant volume process work done is 0 and only increasing the internal energy but in constant pressure process internal energy increase and work also done on the system.

cp/cv = 1.14.
This value is constant.
We denoted it by gama.
This value is constant.

@Ambika: The above said is for gas. And it varies with the medium and composition.

Ratio of cp and cv is greater then one because value of cp is greater then cv.

It is given that the ratio of cp/cv=R which is consatant and value is 1.14 which is constant.

And r = 1.14 is for air not for all gases. But r>1.

cp/cv = 5/3 = 1.6 this for monoatomic particle.
cp/cv = 7/5 = 1.4 this for diatomic particle.
So, cp/cv = R where, R is molar mass.
R>1.
cp/cv = 7/5 = 1.4 this for diatomic particle.
So, cp/cv = R where, R is molar mass.
R>1.

Cp-Cv = R where R is gas constant.

Justify the equation :
y = cp/cv = 1.14.
y = cp/cv = 1.14.

Cp/Cv = gama.
Which is greater than 1.
Which is greater than 1.
