Answer to Question #131014 in Physical Chemistry for bassant

Question

Using the "equipartion" of energy concept, estimate the ideal gas $c_p$ (not $c_v$) in units of $k_B$ for "high-temperature" where all vibrational modes are activated. (if you calculate $c_p = 42k_B$, enter 42 as your answer)

Answer 1

If N is the number of atoms in each of the ideal gas molecule, when:

Cp = 3N/2+1
