In case of ideal triatomic gas, What is the ratio of specific heats Cp/Cv ?
In case of ideal triatomic gas, What is the ratio of specific heats C_p/C_v?
The ratio of specific heats \gamma =C_p/C_v is given as \gamma=1+\frac{2}{n}Here n is the degree of freedom of the gas.For triatomic gas degree of freedom is 6.
Therefore \gamma = 1+\frac{2}{6}=1.33
