Question

If for a gas (R/CV) =0.67, this gas is made up of molecules which are (A) monatomic (B) diatomic (C) polyatomic (D) mixture of diatomic and polyatomic molecules

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

For a gas, we know (R/CV) = &gamma; - 1 or 0.67 = &gamma; - 1 or, &gamma; = 1.67 Hence the gas is monatomic.

Q. If for a gas $\frac{R}{C _{V}} = 0.67$ , this gas is made up of molecules which are

monatomic

diatomic

polyatomic

mixture of diatomic and polyatomic molecules

For a gas, we know $\frac{R}{C _{V}} = γ - 1$
or $0.67 = γ - 1$ or, $γ = 1.67$
Hence the gas is monatomic.
