Consider two ideal diatomic gases $A$ and $B$ at some temperature $T$. Molecules of the gas $A$ are rigid,and have a mass $m$. Molecules of the gas $B$ have an additional vibrational mode,and have a mass $\frac{m}{4}$. The ratio of the specific heats $(C_{v}^{A}$ and $C_{v}^{B})$ of gas $A$ and $B$,respectively,is

  • A
    $7:9$
  • B
    $5:7$
  • C
    $3:5$
  • D
    $5:9$

$A$ diatomic molecule has how many degrees of freedom?

The specific heats,$C_P$ and $C_V$ of a gas of diatomic molecules,$A$,are given (in units of $J\, mol^{-1}\, K^{-1}$) by $29$ and $22$,respectively. Another gas of diatomic molecules,$B$,has the corresponding values $30$ and $21$. If they are treated as ideal gases,then:

For two different gases $X$ and $Y,$ having degrees of freedom $f_1$ and $f_2$ and molar heat capacities at constant volume $C_{v_1}$ and $C_{v_2}$ respectively, for an adiabatic process, the $\ln P$ versus $\ln V$ graph is plotted as shown:

At standard temperature and pressure $(STP)$,the density of a gas is $1.3 \ kg/m^3$ and the speed of sound in the gas is $330 \ m/s$. The degree of freedom of the gas is:
