Statement: The ration Cp/Cv is more for helium gas than that for hydrogen gas. Reason: Atomic mass of helium is more than that of hydrogen.

Statement: The ration Cp/Cv is more for helium gas than that for hydrogen gas. Reason: Atomic mass of helium is more than that of hydrogen. Correct Answer Both statement and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the statement

Both the statement and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the statement For monoatomic He, γ=Cp/Cv = 5/3 For diatomic H2, γ=Cp/Cv = 7/5.
