  1. Question 1

    Q1. The specific heat capacity at constant volume (Cv) for an ideal monatomic gas is

    • A) (3 / 2)R
    • B) (5 / 2)R
    • C) (7 / 2)R
    • D) 2R

    Answer: (3 / 2)R

    Explanation: For a monatomic ideal gas, Cv = (3 / 2)R, where R is the gas constant, derived from the kinetic theory of gases.
