Question

Specific heat capacity at constant volume for diatomic gas

Answer 1

Specific Heat for an Ideal Gas atConstant Pressure and Volume. This represents the dimensionless heat capacity at constant volume; it is generally a function of temperature due to intermolecular forces. For moderate temperatures, the constantfor a monoatomic gas is cv=3/2 while for a diatomic gas it is cv=5/2 (see ).
