Calculate the value of mechanical equivalent of heat from the following data. Specific heat capacity of air at constant volume and at constant pressure are `4.93 cal//mol-K` and `6.90 cal//mol-K` respectively. Gas constant `R = 8.3 J//mol-K`. |

Answer» Correct Answer - `4.2J//cal` As `C_(P) - C_(V) = R = 8.3 J//mol-K` `1.97 = 8.3J`. `:.` Mechanical equivalent of heat is `(8.3J)/(1.97cal) = 4.2 J//cal`. |
