Serway & Jewett β The Kinetic Theory of Gases: Problem 14.
A certain molecule has \( f \) degrees of freedom. Show that an ideal gas consisting of such molecules has the following properties: (a) its total internal energy is \( fnRT/2 \), (b) its molar specific heat at constant volume is \( fR/2 \), (c) its molar specific heat at constant pressure is \( (f + 2)R/2 \), and (d) its specific heat ratio is \( \gamma = C_P/C_V = (f + 2)/f \).
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) its total internal energy is \; (b) its molar specific heat at constant volume is \; (c) its molar specific heat at constant pressure is \
