ratio of molar specific heat to monoatomic gas is

Rohan Goyal 18th Feb, 2020

Hello sir

We know that molar specific heat or molar heat capacity is the amount of energy i.e. ( heat energy) re quired  to increase the temperature of a substance of one mole And monatomic gases are the gases which are free to move here and there.

So, ratio of molar specific heat is Cp/Cv. We know that value of Cp and Cv for monatomic gases is 5R/2 and 3R/2. Then according to formula (Cp/Cv) is (5R/2)/(3R/2) = 1.66
