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

If for a gas, RCV=0.67\frac{R}{C_V} = 0.67, this gas is made up of molecules which are

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Cv=R0.67≈32RC_v = \frac{R}{0.67} \approx \frac{3}{2}R
  2. f2=32⇒f=3\frac{f}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \Rightarrow f = 3
  3. So the answer is (c) monoatomic.
