[QUOTE="Nikhil Rajagopalan, post: 6197217, member: 607750"] Dear Experts, We compute C[SUB]v[/SUB] for gases using the idea of equipartition principle and degrees of freedom. In case of a diatomic molecule, there are minimum 3 degrees of freedom (at very low temperatures) and maximum 6 degrees of freedom one of them being vibrational (at high temperatures. Does it imply that C[SUB]v[/SUB] can only have discrete values that correspond to (3/2)R , (5/2)R and (7/2)R? Is the value completely independent of the nature and the property of the atoms making the molecule? [/QUOTE]
