For a gas,the value of $\frac{R}{C_v} = 0.4$. What is the nature of the gas? ($R$ is the universal gas constant)

How can specific heat be predicted from the law of equipartition of energy?

For a monoatomic gas,the work done at constant pressure is $W$. For the same rise in temperature of the gas,the heat supplied at constant volume is:

The specific heat of helium at constant volume is $12.6 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$. The specific heat of helium at constant pressure in $J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$ is about (Assume the temperature of the gas is moderate,universal gas constant,$R=8.314 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$)

What amount of heat (in $J$) must be supplied to $2.0 \times 10^{-2} \; kg$ of nitrogen (at room temperature) to raise its temperature by $45 \; ^{\circ}C$ at constant pressure? (Molecular mass of $N_{2} = 28; R = 8.3 \; J \; mol^{-1} K^{-1}$.)

For hydrogen gas,$C_P - C_V = a$,and for oxygen gas,$C_P - C_V = b$. The relationship between $a$ and $b$ is given by: (where $C_P$ and $C_V$ are molar specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume,respectively.)
