Q. Statement 1: The ratio of specific heat capacity to molar heat capacity of a gas depends on the molecular mass of the gas.

Statement 2: One mole of the gas contains its molecular mass in grams.

Thermal Properties of Matter

Solution:

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true but Statement- 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Specific heat capacity $(c)=\frac{Q}{m \Delta T}$
Molar Heat capacity $(C)=\frac{Q}{n \Delta T}$
$\frac{c}{C}=\frac{n}{m}=\frac{m / M}{m}=\frac{1}{M}$
