    The molar specific heat of a gas as given from the kinetic theory is - R. If it is not specified whether it is \[{{C}_{p}}\]or \[{{C}_{v}},\] one could conclude that the molecules of the gas

    A) are definitely monoatomic

    B) are definitely rigid diatomic

    C) are definitely non-rigid diatomic

    D) can be monoatomic or rigid diatomic

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    A monoatomic gas has 3 degrees of freedom an diatomic gas has 5 degrees of freedom. For monoatomic gas, \[{{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}}\] and    \[\text{2}.\text{4 }\times \text{l}{{0}^{-\text{4}}}\] For a diatomic gas,                                 \[\text{mol }{{\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}}\] and            \[\text{mi}{{\text{n}}^{\text{-1}}}\] \[{{N}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}\xrightarrow{{}}2N{{O}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\] Hence, we can conclude that the molecules of the gas can be monoatomic or rigid diatomic.
