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)?

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $6$
  • D

The amount of heat that must be supplied to $35 \ g$ of oxygen at room temperature to raise its temperature by $80^{\circ} C$ at constant volume is (molecular mass of oxygen is $32$ and $R = 8.3 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$) (in $kJ$)

The ratio of the specific heats $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\gamma$,in terms of degrees of freedom $(n)$ is

$C_{v}$ and $C_{p}$ denote the molar specific heat capacities of a gas at constant volume and constant pressure,respectively. Then
$(A)$ $C_{p}-C_{v}$ is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas
$(B)$ $C_{p}+C_{v}$ is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas
$(C)$ $C_{p} / C_{v}$ is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas
$(D)$ $C_{p} \cdot C_v$ is larger for a diatomic ideal gas than for a monoatomic ideal gas

If $C_P$ and $C_V$ are the specific heats of unit mass of nitrogen at constant pressure and constant volume respectively,then:

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 $C_v$ is equal to:
