AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Kinetic Theory of Gases

If the ratio of universal gas constant and specific heat capacity at constant volume of a gas is given by 0.67, then the gas is

  1. A monoatomic
  2. B diatomic
  3. C polyatomic
  4. D a mixture of diatomic and polyatomic gases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) monoatomic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \gamma - 1 = R/C_v \) \( \gamma = 1 + 0.67 \) \( \gamma = 1.67 \) \( \text{Since } \gamma \approx 5/3 \), the gas is monoatomic.
