Mayer's Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Gas Constant = Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure-Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Volume
R = C_p-C_v
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Gas Constant - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - The Specific Gas Constant of a gas or a mixture of gases is given by the molar gas constant divided by the molar mass of the gas or mixture.
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure means the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of gas by 1 degree at constant pressure.
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Volume - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Volume means the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of gas by 1 degree at constant volume.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure: 1005 Joule per Kilogram per K --> 1005 Joule per Kilogram per K No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Volume: 732 Joule per Kilogram per K --> 732 Joule per Kilogram per K No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R = C_p-C_v --> 1005-732

Evaluating ... ...

R = 273

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

273 Joule per Kilogram per K --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

273 Joule per Kilogram per K <-- Specific Gas Constant
