Question Details

If the value of molar gas constant is 8.3 J/mole-K, the n specific gas constant for hydrogen in J/mole-K will be

Options

A

4.15

B

8.3

C

16.6

D

None of these

Correct Answer :

4.15

Solution :

The correct option is 4.15.

Step-by-step derivation:

The specific gas constant (Rs) of a gas is related to the universal molar gas constant (R) and the molecular mass (M) of the gas by the following formula:
Rs = RM

We are given the following values:
Molar gas constant, R=8.3 J/mol-K
Molecular mass of hydrogen gas (H2), M=2 g/mol

Substitute the given values into the equation to calculate the specific gas constant for hydrogen:
Rs = 8.3 2 = 4.15

Thus, the value of the specific gas constant for hydrogen is 4.15.
