$176 \text{ grams}$ of $CO_2$ can change its temperature from $0^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ by absorbing $3600 \text{ joules}$ of thermal energy. The molar specific heat of $CO_2$ in $J \ mol^{-1} K^{-1}$ is:

Which of the following is a universal constant?

The molar heat capacity of an ideal gas at constant volume is $\alpha R$. If $R$ is the universal gas constant,then the ratio $C_P/C_V$ is equal to ...........

Find the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure $(C_p)$ to the specific heat at constant volume $(C_v)$ for $NH_3$.

Given below are observations on molar specific heats at room temperature of some common gases.
Gas Molar specific heat $(C_v)$ $(cal\, mol^{-1}\, K^{-1})$
Hydrogen $4.87$
Nitrogen $4.97$
Oxygen $5.02$
Nitric oxide $4.99$
Carbon monoxide $5.01$
Chlorine $6.17$

The measured molar specific heats of these gases are markedly different from those for monatomic gases. Typically,molar specific heat of a monatomic gas is $2.92 \; cal/mol\; K$. Explain this difference. What can you infer from the somewhat larger (than the rest) value for chlorine?
