Degrees of freedom 5 of 14 part a using the equipartition theorem, determine the molar speoific heat, c, of a gas in which each thermodynamics deals with the macroscopic properties of materials. scientists can make no molecule has s degrees of freedom express your answer in terms of r and s view available hint(s) quantitative predictions about these macroscopic kinetic theory and statistical mechanics provide a way to relate molecular models to thermodynamics predicting the heat capacities of gases at a constant volume from the number of degrees of freedom of a gas molecule is one example of the predictive power of molecular models the molar specific heat c of a gas at a constant volume is the quantity of energy required to raise the temperature t of one mole of gas by one degree while the volume remains the same mathematically part b n di where n is the number of moles of gas, du is the given the molar specific heat cy of a gas at constant volume, you can determine the number of change in internal energy, and dt is the change in degrees of freedom s that are energetically accessible for example, at room temperature cis-2-butene, c, he, has molar specific heat c70.6 kinetic theory tels us that the temperature of a gas is directly proportional to the total kinetic energy of the molecules in the gas. the equipartition theorem says that each degree of freedom of a molecule how many degrees of freedom of ois-2-butene are energetically accessible? express your answer numerically te the nearest integer view available hint(o) has an average energy equal to bt, where kn is boltzmann's constant 1.38 × 10 23 j /k when summed over the entre gas, this gives nrt. where r8.314 the ideal n constant, for each molecular degree of ftreedom
