The ratio Cp / Cv for a gas is 1.29. What is the degree of freedom of the molecules of this gas?
उत्तर
For the molecules of a gas, `gamma = ("C"_"P")/("C"_"V") = 1+ 2/"f" `
where f is the degree of freedom.
Given : γ =1.29
`=> 1+2/"f" = 1.29 = 9/7`
`=> 2/"f" =9/7 -1`
`=> 2/"f" =2/7`
⇒ f =7
Therefore, the molecules of this gas have 7 degrees of freedom.
But in reality, no gas can have more than 6 degrees of freedom.

An air bubble of volume 1.0 cm3 rises from the bottom of a lake 40 m deep at a temperature of 12 °C. To what volume does it grow when it reaches the surface, which is at a temperature of 35 °C?
A gas in equilibrium has uniform density and pressure throughout its volume. This is strictly true only if there are no external influences. A gas column under gravity, for example, does not have the uniform density (and pressure). As you might expect, its density decreases with height. The precise dependence is given by the so-called law of atmospheres
n2 = n1 exp [-mg (h2 – h1)/ kBT]
Where n2, n1 refer to number density at heights h2 and h1 respectively. Use this relation to derive the equation for sedimentation equilibrium of a suspension in a liquid column:
n2 = n1 exp [-mg NA(ρ - P′) (h2 –h1)/ (ρRT)]
Where ρ is the density of the suspended particle, and ρ’ that of surrounding medium. [NA is Avogadro’s number, and R the universal gas constant.] [Hint: Use Archimedes principle to find the apparent weight of the suspended particle.]
