    Yes
  • B
    No
  • C
    Only for monoatomic gases

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 approximately (assume, the universal gas constant, $R=8.314 \,J \,mol^{-1} \,K^{-1}$)

If a gas has $f$ degrees of freedom,what is the ratio ${C_p}/{C_v}$?

The value of the gas constant $(R)$ calculated from the perfect gas equation is $8.32 \ J/mol \cdot K$,whereas its value calculated from the knowledge of $C_P$ and $C_V$ of the gas is $1.98 \ cal/mol \cdot K$. From this data,the value of $J$ is ......... $J/cal$.
