cp/cv or Y always greater than 1.

Monoatomic gases Y = 5/3 like cr, ne, he.

Diatomic Y = 7/5 or 1.4 like o2, n2, h2.

Triatomic or polyatomic Y = 4/3 or 1.33 like so2, co2.

Cp is always greater than Cv, R = Cp>Cv

At constant volume the heat is directly increase the temperature but at constant pressure heat is given to the system then temp is increased and also expand so some heat is extra needed.

Since cp > cv & R = cp/cv.

So R(cp/cv) is always greater than 1.

@Prasanth.

Why so? Why Cp is always greater than Cv?

Prasanth said:   1 decade ago
Because Cp is always greater than Cv.

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

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

Divya said:   1 decade ago
Cp-Cv = R where R is gas constant.

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.
