Q3: The specific heats, CP and CV of gas of diatomic molecules, A, is 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 (a) A has a vibrational mode but B has none. (b) A has one vibrational mode and B has two. (c) A is rigid but B has a vibrational mode. (d) Both A and B have a vibrational mode each.
