Q1) The molar specific heat of a diatomic gas is measured at constant volume and found to be 29.1 J/mol. K. The types of energy that arecontributing to the molar specific heat are: (a) translation only (b) translation and rotation only (c) translation and vibration only (d) translation, rotation, and vibration. And why?
First Question:
A. Using the definition of specific heat, the first law of thermodynamics and the
ideal gas law, show that:
(i) dQ = Cy dT +P dV, where Cy is the specific heat at constant volume,
(ii) Cp = Cv + R, where Cp is the specific heat at constant pressure and R is
the ideal gas constant.
B. mol sample of hydrogen gas is heated at constant pressure from 300K to. 420K.
Calculate (a) the energy transferred to the gas by heat, (b) the increase in
its internal energy, and (c) the work done on the gas.
