2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the average energy of a monatomic gas at temperature T?
Remember the relation between temperature and kinetic energy.
Define what a monatomic gas is.
Think of gases like helium or neon.
What is the molar specific heat at constant volume for monatomic gases?
Refer to the equation for internal energy.
Is the ratio of specific heats for a monatomic gas greater than or equal to one?
Consider why it should be more than one.
A monatomic gas is compressed isothermally. If the volume is halved while keeping temperature constant, describe the changes to pressure, and calculate the work done.
Recall the work done during isothermal processes.
Consider a vessel containing monatomic gas at room temperature. How would the specific heat capacities change if the gas were to become diatomic?
Think about the additional energies available in a diatomic molecule.
