Given below are observations on molar specific heats at room temperature of some common gases.
| Gas |
Molar specific heat (Cv) (cal mol–1 K–1) |
| Hydrogen | 4.87 |
| Nitrogen | 4.97 |
| Oxygen | 5.02 |
| Nitric oxide | 4.99 |
| Carbon monoxide | 5.01 |
| Chlorine | 6.17 |
The measured molar specific heats of these gases are markedly different from those for monatomic gases. Typically, molar specific heat of a monatomic gas is 2.92 cal/mol K. Explain this difference. What can you infer from the somewhat larger (than the rest) value for chlorine?
Name the S.I. unit of heat.
What do you mean by the following statement?
The specific heat capacity of copper is 0. 4 Jg-1 K-1?
104g of water at 30°C is taken in a calorimeter made of copper of mass 42 g. When a certain mass of ice at 0°C is added to it, the final steady temperature of the mixture after the ice has melted, was found to be 10°C. Find the mass of ice added. [Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 Jg–1°C–1 ; Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 Jg–1; Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.4 Jg–1°C–1] .
A substance is heated at a constant rate from a low temperature to a high temperature. A graph of temperature against time is shown in the figure. Which part or parts of the graph correspond(s) to the substance existing in two states?

How much heat energy is necessary to raise the temperature of 5 kg of water from 20°C to 100°C?
If 'f' is the number of degrees of freedom of a molecule of a gas and ratio of molar specific heats of a gas, ϒ = 1 + `2/"f"` where ϒ = Cp/Cv. The ratio of 'ϒ' for monoatomic gas to 'ϒ' for (rigid) f diatomic gas is ______.
Two metals A and B have specific heat capacities in the ratio 2:3. If they are supplied same amount of heat then
Which metal piece will have greater mass if the rise in temperature is the same for both metals?
