FAQs on Specific Heat of Gas Mixture

What is the formula to find Specific Heat of Gas Mixture?
The formula of Specific Heat of Gas Mixture is expressed as Specific Heat of Gas Mixture = (Number of Moles of Gas 1*Specific Heat Capacity of Gas 1 at Constant Volume+Number of Moles of Gas 2*Specific Heat Capacity of Gas 2 at Constant Volume)/(Number of Moles of Gas 1+Number of Moles of Gas 2). Here is an example- 112 = (6*113+3*110)/(6+3).
How to calculate Specific Heat of Gas Mixture?
With Number of Moles of Gas 1 (n1), Specific Heat Capacity of Gas 1 at Constant Volume (Cv1), Number of Moles of Gas 2 (n2) & Specific Heat Capacity of Gas 2 at Constant Volume (Cv2) we can find Specific Heat of Gas Mixture using the formula - Specific Heat of Gas Mixture = (Number of Moles of Gas 1*Specific Heat Capacity of Gas 1 at Constant Volume+Number of Moles of Gas 2*Specific Heat Capacity of Gas 2 at Constant Volume)/(Number of Moles of Gas 1+Number of Moles of Gas 2).
Can the Specific Heat of Gas Mixture be negative?
Yes, the Specific Heat of Gas Mixture, measured in Specific Heat Capacity can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Specific Heat of Gas Mixture?
