What is the ratio of specific heats for a monatomic gas?

Question 1

What is the ratio of specific heats for a monatomic gas?

(a) 5/3

(b) 5/2

(c) 7/5

(d) 9/5

Question 2

Right answer is (a) 5/3

The explanation: The value of Cv for a monatomic gas is 3/2 R and

CP is 5/2 R.

Thus the value of γ is:

CP/CV= 5/3.
