Q.

Let γ1 be the ratio of molar specific heat at constant pressure and molar specific heat at constant volume of a monoatomic gas and γ2 be the similar ratio of a diatomic gas. Considering the diatomic gas molecule as a rigid rotator, the ratio γ1γ2 is                      [2023]

1 2125  
2 2521  
3 3527  
4 2735  

Ans.

(2)

For monoatomic gas, γ1=53

For diatomic gas at low temperatures, γ2=75

  γ1γ2=5375=2521
