The molar specific heat of a diatomic gas is measured at constant volume and found to be 29.1 J/mol K. What are the types of energy that are contributing to the molar specific heat? (a) translation only (b) translation and rotation only (c) translation and vibration only (d) translation, rotation, and vibration
A certain molecule has f degrees of freedom. Show that an ideal gas consisting of such molecules has the following properties: (a) its total internal energy is fnRT/2, (b) its molar specific heat at constant volume is fR/2, (c) its molar specific heat at constant pressure is (f + 2)R/2, and (d) its specific heat ratio is γ = CP/CV = (f + 2)/f.
A 2.00 mol sample of an ideal diatomic gas at a pressure of 1.10 atm and temperature of 420 K undergoes a process in which its pressure increases linearly with temperature. The final temperature and pressure are 720 K and 1.70 atm . Fid the change in internal energy, work done by the gas, and heat added.
