If the specific heats of a monoatomic gas and a diatomic gas are the same, which relation is valid?

  • A
    $C_P(\text{mono}) = C_P(\text{dia})$
  • B
    $C_P(\text{mono}) = C_V(\text{dia})$
  • C
    $C_V(\text{mono}) = C_V(\text{dia})$
  • D
    $C_V(\text{mono}) = C_P(\text{dia})$

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?

For a gas,$\frac{R}{C_{V}} = 0.4$,where $R$ is the universal gas constant and $C_{V}$ is the molar specific heat at constant volume. The gas is made up of molecules which are

Which of the following formulae is wrong?

The molar specific heat capacity of a diatomic gas at constant pressure is $C$. The molar specific heat capacity of a monoatomic gas at constant volume is
