Calculate the degree of freedom of a diatomic gas.

When $x$ amount of heat is given to a gas at constant pressure,it performs $x/3$ amount of work. The average number of degrees of freedom per molecule is

The ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to specific heat at constant volume $(\gamma)$ for a gas is given by $\gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$,where $f$ is the number of degrees of freedom of a molecule of the gas. What is the ratio of $\gamma_{d}$ for a rigid diatomic gas to $\gamma_{m}$ for a monoatomic gas?

The internal energy $(U)$,pressure $(P)$,and volume $(V)$ of an ideal gas are related as $U = 3PV + 4$. The gas is:

The value of $\gamma \left( = \frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}} \right)$ for hydrogen,helium,and another ideal diatomic gas $X$ (whose molecules are not rigid but have an additional vibrational mode) are respectively equal to:
