For an ideal gas, \(\mathrm{R}=\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}\). This suggests that the gas consists of molecule, which are \([\mathrm{R}=\) universal gas constant \(]\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) monoatomic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For an ideal gas
\(
\begin{aligned}
& C_v=\frac{f}{2} R \\
& \text { Or } R=\frac{2}{f} C_v
\end{aligned}
\)
Hence, \(\mathrm{f}=3\)
Thus, gas is monoatomic.
