Molecules of an ideal gas are known to have three translational degrees of freedom. The gas is maintained at a temperature of T. The total internal energy, U of a mole of this gas, and the value of γ = C p C v are given, respectively, by
Options
- AU = 5 2 RT and   γ = 6 5
- BU = 5   R   T and γ = 7 5
- CU = 5 2 RT and γ = 7 5
- DU = 5 R T and γ = 6 5
Correct answer
C. U = 5 2 RT and γ = 7 5
Step-by-step solution
f   =   5 γ = 1 + 2 f = 1 + 2 5 = 7 5 C p C v = 7 5
