For a gas \(\frac{R}{C_v}=0.4\), where \(R\) is the universal gas constant and \(C v\) is the molar specific heat at constant volume. The gas is made up of molecules which are

  1. A rigid diatomic
  2. B monoatomic
  3. C non- rigid diatomic
  4. D polyatomic
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) rigid diatomic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

RCv=0.4Cp-CvCv=0.4
CpCv-1=0.4
    CpCv=1.4   γ=1.4
As γ=1.4, the gas is diatomic in nature. Example, air molecules.
