Calculate the ratio of two specific heats of polyatomic gas molecules.

उत्तर
- Gases that have molecules containing more than two atoms are termed polyatomic gases.
- Each molecule of the polyatomic gas has 3 translational degrees of freedom. Only linear molecules have 2 degrees of freedom for rotation. All other polyatomic molecules have 3 degrees of freedom for rotation.
- The number of degrees of freedom (f) for the vibrational motion of a polyatomic molecule depends on the geometric structure of the molecule, i.e., the arrangement of atoms in a molecule.
- Each such degree of freedom contributes average energy `2 xx 1/2`kBT from kinetic energy and potential energy terms.
- Therefore for 1 mole of a polyatomic gas, the internal energy is E = `3/2 N_Ak_BT + 3/2 N_Ak_BT + f × 2/2 N_Ak_BT`
= (3 + f) NAkBT - Molar-specificific heats at constant volume and constant pressure are given as
Cv = (3 + f) R and Cp = (4 + f) R
∴ `gamma = C_p/C_v = (4 + f)/(3 + f)`

A child running a temperature of 101°F is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to 98 °F in 20 min, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is 30 kg. The specific heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about 580 cal g–1.
