The specific heat of helium at constant volume is $12.6 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$. The specific heat of helium at constant pressure in $J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$ is about (Assume the temperature of the gas is moderate,universal gas constant,$R=8.314 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$)

Given below are observations on molar specific heats at room temperature of some common gases.
Gas Molar specific heat $(C_v)$ $(cal\, mol^{-1}\, K^{-1})$
Hydrogen $4.87$
Nitrogen $4.97$
Oxygen $5.02$
Nitric oxide $4.99$
Carbon monoxide $5.01$
Chlorine $6.17$

The measured molar specific heats of these gases are markedly different from those for monatomic gases. Typically,molar specific heat of a monatomic gas is $2.92 \; cal/mol\; K$. Explain this difference. What can you infer from the somewhat larger (than the rest) value for chlorine?

The molar specific heat at constant pressure of an ideal gas is $\frac{7}{2} R$. The gas is made up of molecules which are ( $R$ is the universal gas constant)

The specific heat at constant pressure and at constant volume for an ideal gas are $C_p$ and $C_v$,and its adiabatic and isothermal elasticities are $E_{\phi}$ and $E_{\theta}$ respectively. The ratio of $E_{\phi}$ to $E_{\theta}$ is

When some amount of heat energy is supplied to a monatomic gas, the percentage of heat energy used for increasing the internal energy of the gas $(\gamma = 5/3)$ is
