Q. At ordinary temperature, the molecules of an ideal gas have only translational and rotational kinetic energies. At high tempera-tures they may also have vibrational energy. As a result of this at higher temperatures ( = molar heat capacity at constant volume)

Solution:

At ordinary temperature, the vibrational kinetic energy of a monoatomic gas is zero. So, The value is same for high temperature also. In case of diatomic gas (at low temperature) Also, (at high temperature due to vibrational kinetic energy)
