Problem 2.34

Find the specific heat capacities cVc_{V} and cpc_{p} for a gaseous mixture consisting of 7.0 g7.0 \mathrm{~g} of nitrogen and 20 g20 \mathrm{~g} of argon. The gases are assumed to be ideal.

Reveal Answer
cv=0.422 J/(gK),cp=0.65 J/(gK)c_{v}=0.42^{2} \mathrm{~J} /(\mathrm{g} \cdot \mathrm{K}), c_{p}=0.65 \mathrm{~J} /(\mathrm{g} \cdot \mathrm{K})
