The ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to specific heat at constant volume $(\gamma)$ for a gas is given by $\gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$,where $f$ is the number of degrees of freedom of a molecule of the gas. What is the ratio of $\gamma_{d}$ for a rigid diatomic gas to $\gamma_{m}$ for a monoatomic gas?

  • A
    $\frac{14}{23}$
  • B
    $\frac{25}{21}$
  • C
    $\frac{21}{25}$
  • D
    $\frac{23}{14}$

Write the degree of freedom for a diatomic rigid rotator.

For a diatomic gas,let $\gamma_1 = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$ for rigid molecules and $\gamma_2 = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$ for diatomic molecules that also have a vibrational mode. Which of the following options is correct? ($C_p$ and $C_v$ are the specific heats of the gas at constant pressure and volume,respectively.)
