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 m 4 . The ratio of the specific heats C V A and C V B of gas A and B , respectively is:
Options
- A7 : 9
- B5 : 9
- C3 : 5
- D5 : 7
Correct answer
D. 5 : 7
Step-by-step solution
Molar heat capacity of A at constant volume = 5 R 2 Molar heat capacity of B at constant volume = 7 R 2 Dividing both C v A C v B = 5 7
