Question:
The specific heats, $\mathrm{C}_{p}$ and $\mathrm{C}_{v}$ of a gas of diatomic molecules, $\mathrm{A}$, are given (in units of $\mathrm{J} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{k}^{-1}$ ) by 29 and 22, respectively. Another gas of diatomic molecules, B, has the corresponding values 30 and 21 . If they are treated as ideal gases, then:
Correct Option: , 2
Solution:
(2) $\gamma_{A}=\frac{C_{P}}{C_{v}}=\frac{29}{22}=1.32<1.4$ (diatomic)
and $\gamma_{B}=\frac{30}{21}=\frac{10}{7}=1.43>1.4$
Gas A has more than 5 -degrees of freedom.
