Let $\gamma_1$ be the ratio of molar specific heat at constant pressure and molar specific heat at constant volume of a monoatomic gas and $\gamma_2$ be the similar ratio of a diatomic gas. Considering the diatomic gas molecule as a rigid rotator,the ratio $\frac{\gamma_2}{\gamma_1}$ is

What is the molar heat capacity of water? ($R$ is the universal gas constant.)

When an ideal triatomic non-linear gas is heated at constant pressure,the fraction of the heat energy supplied which increases the internal energy of the gas is

Derive the ratio of $\frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}$ for a diatomic gas.

Given below are observations on molar specific heats at room temperature of some common gases.
Gas Molar specific heat $(C_v)$ $(cal\, mol^{-1}\, K^{-1})$
Hydrogen $4.87$
Nitrogen $4.97$
Oxygen $5.02$
Nitric oxide $4.99$
Carbon monoxide $5.01$
Chlorine $6.17$

The measured molar specific heats of these gases are markedly different from those for monatomic gases. Typically,molar specific heat of a monatomic gas is $2.92 \; cal/mol\; K$. Explain this difference. What can you infer from the somewhat larger (than the rest) value for chlorine?
