Solution
An ideal gas has molecules with 5 degrees of freedom. The ratio of specific heats at constant pressure (CP) and at constant volume (Cv) is `underlinebb(7/5)`.
Explanation:
The ratio of specific heat at constant pressure (Cp) and constant volume (Cv).
`"C"_"p"/"C"_"v" = γ = (1 + 2/"f")`
where f is the degree of freedom.
`"C"_"p"/"C"_"v" = (1 + 2/5) = 7/5`
