An ideal gas has molecules with \(5\,\) degrees of freedom. The ratio of specific heats at constant pressure \((C_p)\) and at constant volume \((C_v)\) is

  1. A \(6\)
  2. B \(3.5\)
  3. C \(2.5\)
  4. D \(1.4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The ratio of specific heats at constant pressure \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}\right)\) and constant volume \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}\right)\) \(\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\gamma=\left(1+\frac{2}{f}\right)\) where fis degree of freedom…
