If a gas has $n$ degrees of freedom,the ratio of specific heats of the gas is:

  • A
    $1 + \frac{n}{2}$
  • B
    $1 + \frac{1}{n}$
  • C
    $1 + \frac{2}{n}$
  • D
    $\frac{1 + n}{2}$

The ratio of the specific heats $\frac{C_p}{C_v} = \gamma$ in terms of degrees of freedom $(n)$ is given by

The molar specific heat of an ideal gas at constant pressure and constant volume is $C_p$ and $C_v$ respectively. If $R$ is the universal gas constant and the ratio of $C_p$ to $C_v$ is $\gamma$,then $C_v=$

$5$ moles of oxygen is heated at constant volume from $10^{\circ}C$ to $20^{\circ}C$. The change in the internal energy of the gas is (given $C_p = 8 \text{ cal/mole } ^{\circ}C$ and $R = 2 \text{ cal/mole } ^{\circ}C$ approximately).

The correct relation between $\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$ and temperature $T$ is:
