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

For an ideal gas, R=23CvR = \frac{2}{3}C_v. This suggests that the gas consists of molecules, which are [R=R = universal gas constant]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Cv=32R=f2R⇒f=3C_v = \frac{3}{2}R = \frac{f}{2}R \Rightarrow f = 3 (translation only).
  2. So the answer is (c) monoatomic.
