Also the decimal expansion of the molar specific heat of an ideal gas consisting of molecules with 5 degrees of freedom at constant volume.
The molar specific heat of an ideal gas consisting of molecules with n degrees of freedom at constant pressure and volume can be calculated respectively with the following formulae:
- Cv(n) = n/2 R;
- Cp(n) = (1 + n/2) R;
Where R = Cp(n) - Cv(n) = A070064 is the molar gas constant.
Molecules of a monatomic gas have 3 degrees of freedom. Diatomic and polyatomic molecules can have additional degrees of freedom.
