Part A
Using the equipartition theorem, determine the molar specific heat, C_v, of a gas in which each molecule has s degrees of freedom.
Express your answer in terms of R and s.
Okay, I know that the equipartition theorem is 1/2k_B*T
and molar specific heat is C_v= (1/n)(dU/dT)
But I don't know where to go from here, please help?
Part B
Given the molar specific heat C_v of a gas at constant volume, you can determine the number of degrees of freedom s that are energetically accessible.
For example, at room temperature cis-2-butene, \rm C_4 H_8, has molar specific heat C_v=70.6\;{\rm \frac{J}{mol \cdot K}}. How many degrees of freedom of cis-2-butene are energetically accessible?
Express your answer numerically to the nearest integer.
