If $C_{p}$ and $C_{v}$ are molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume respectively and $\gamma$ is $C_{p} / C_{v}$,then $C_{p} =$ (where $R$ is the universal gas constant).

Obtain the equation for $\gamma = \frac{C_P}{C_V}$ in terms of the degree of freedom $f$.

The molar specific heat at constant pressure for a monoatomic gas is

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?

If the ratio of specific heat of a gas at constant pressure to that at constant volume is $\gamma$,the change in internal energy of a mass of gas,when the volume changes from $V$ to $2V$ at constant pressure $p$,is

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