Let $\gamma_1$ be the ratio of molar specific heat at constant pressure and molar specific heat at constant volume of a mono-atomic gas and $\gamma_2$ be the similar ratio of a diatomic gas. Considering the diatomic gas molecule as a rigid rotator, the ratio $\gamma_1/\gamma_2$ is

  • A
    $27/35$
  • B
    $35/27$
  • C
    $25/21$
  • D
    $21/25$

To raise the temperature of a certain mass of gas by $50^{\circ} C$ at a constant pressure,$160$ calories of heat is required. When the same mass of gas is cooled by $100^{\circ} C$ at constant volume,$240$ calories of heat is released. How many degrees of freedom does each molecule of this gas have (assume gas to be ideal)?
