Molecules of an ideal gas are known to have three translational degrees of freedom and two rotational degrees of freedom. The gas is maintained at a temperature of T. The total internal energy, U of a mole of this gas, and the value of γ (=C?/C?) are given, respectively, by:
Molecules of an ideal gas are known to have three translational degrees of freedom and two rotational degrees of freedom. The gas is maintained at a temperature of T. The total internal energy, U of a mole of this gas, and the value of γ (=C?/C?) are given, respectively, by:
Option 1 -
U = (5/2)RT and γ = 6/5
Option 2 -
U = 5RT and γ = 7/5
Option 3 -
U = (7/2)RT and γ = 7/5
Option 4 -
U = (5/2)RT and γ = 7/5

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:f=5
∴ U = (5/2)RT
And γ = 1+2/f = 1+2/5=7/5
