(a) You have a bottle containing a mole of a monatomic gas such as helium or neon. You warm up this monatomic gas with an electrical heater which inputs Q = 500 joules of thermal energy transfer. How much does the temperature of the gas increase?
(b) You have a bottle containing a mole of a diatomic gas such as nitrogen (N2) or oxygen (O2). The initial temperature is in the range where many rotational energy levels are excited but essentially no vibration energy levels. You warm up this diatomic gas with an electrical heater which inputs Q = 500 joules of thermal energy transfer. How much does the temperature of the gas increase? (c) You have a bottle containing a mole of a diatomic gas such as nitrogen (N2) or oxygen (O2). The initial temperature is in the range where not only many rotational energy levels are excited but also many vibration energy levels are excited.
