  1. Question 1

    Q1. The molar specific heat capacity at constant volume for an ideal monatomic gas is

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

    Answer: (3/2)R

    Explanation: For a monatomic ideal gas, C_v = (3/2)R. Other options are specific heats for different types of gases or processes.
