Question

specific heat capacity of triatomic gas having linear arrangement and degree of freedom has 7(3 translation, 3 rotational, 1 vibrational).​

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The general epression for degree of freedom is DOF=3N−n

here, DOF means degree of freedom, N is number of particle, and n is the number of holonomic constraints.

for a triatomic molecule, the number of particle is 3 and since the separation between three atoms are fixed so, the number of constraints is 3.

hence, DOF=(3×3)−3

DOF=9−3

DOF=6
