The ratio of the adiabatic to isothermal elasticities of a triatomic (non-linear) gas is

  1. A \(3: 4\)
  2. B \(1: 2\)
  3. C \(4: 3\)
  4. D \(5: 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For triatomic non-linear gas degree of freedom, \(f=6\) \(\begin{aligned} & C_V=\frac{f R}{2}=\frac{6 R}{2}=3 R \\ \therefore \quad C_p & =C_V+R=3 R+R=4 R \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) Ratio of adiabatic to isothermal elasticities of a triatomic (non-linear) gas is…
