The discussion focuses on the thermodynamic properties of monoatomic and diatomic gases, specifically their molar heat capacities at constant volume (Cv) and constant pressure (Cp). The molar heat capacity for a monoatomic gas is established as 3/2 R, while for a diatomic gas, it is 7/2 R. The relationship between heat capacity and temperature change is highlighted, indicating that diatomic gases will experience a lower temperature change than monoatomic gases when subjected to the same amount of heat. The conclusion confirms that processes involving monoatomic gases are labeled 1 and 3, while those involving diatomic gases are labeled 2 and 4.

(molar heat capacity at constant volume=f/2 R where f is then number of degrees of freedom) I think it should be 3/2R for monoatomic and 7/2Rfor diatomic and delta T is inversly proportional to heat capacity. Similarly for heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp=R+Cv) so diatomic will get a lower temprature than monoatomic ones so 1,3 monoatomic and 2,4 diatomicChestermiller said:
