Why is the following situation impossible? A team of researchers discovers a new gas, which has a value of γ = CP/CV of 1.75.

To determine

The reason due to which the given situation is impossible.

Explanation of Solution

The new gas has value of 1.75 for γ.

According to the equipartition of energy, write the expression for the specific heat ratio

    γ=(f+2f)

Here, γ is the specific heat ratio and f is the degree of freedom.

Rearrange the above equation for f,

    f=2
