Question
Does the relation Cp – Cv= R hold good for solids or liquids?
Solution
No, for solids or liquids Cp– Cv< R.
This is because the change in volume of solids or liquids is very small as compared to gases. Therefore, work done against pressure for solids/liquids is very small as compared to gases.
