Question
A piece of iron of mass 2.0 kg has a thermal capacity of 966 J/°C. What is its specific heat capacity in S.I. units?

Solution
Specific heat capacity C' = `"Amount of heat"/("Mass" xx "Rise in temp.") = 14490/(2.0 xx 15) = 14490/30`
= 483 J/kg/°C.

Answer the following question.
Why do we generally consider two specific heats of a gas?
For a gas, `"R"/"C"_"v"=0.4`, where R Is universal gas constant and Cv is the molar specific heat at constant volume. The gas is made up of molecules, which are ______
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 ______.
A mixture of one mole of monoatomic gas and one mole of a diatomic gas (rigid) are kept at room temperature (27°C). The ratio of specific heat of gases at constant volume respectively is:
