Select the incorrect statement about the specific heats of a gaseous system.

Using the law of equipartition of energy, the specific heat (in $J\, kg^{-1}\, K^{-1}$) of aluminium at room temperature can be estimated to be (atomic weight of aluminium $= 27$).

Write the value of $\gamma$ for a polyatomic gas.

Let $\gamma_1$ be the ratio of molar specific heat at constant pressure and molar specific heat at constant volume of a monoatomic gas and $\gamma_2$ be the similar ratio of a diatomic gas. Considering the diatomic gas molecule as a rigid rotator,the ratio $\frac{\gamma_2}{\gamma_1}$ is

$105 \, cal$ of heat is required to raise the temperature of $3 \, moles$ of an ideal gas at constant pressure from $30^{\circ} C$ to $35^{\circ} C$. The amount of heat required in calories to raise the temperature of the gas through the range ($60^{\circ} C$ to $65^{\circ} C$) at constant volume is ........ $cal$ $(\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} = 1.4)$.
