Specific Heats of Gases - Cp, Cv, γ & Mayer's Relation

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Cv=R0.4=52R⇒f=5C_v = \frac{R}{0.4} = \frac{5}{2}R \Rightarrow f = 5.
  2. So the answer is (a) rigid diatomic.
