Consider a sample containing 2.00 mol of an ideal diatomic gas. Assuming the molecules rotate but do not vibrate, find a) the total heat capacity of the sample at constant volume and b) the total heat capacity at constant pressure. C and d) repeat parts a) and b) assuming the molecules both rotate and vibrate. EXPLAIN how you got these answers.
Answers should be:
a: 2mol*5/2 R
b: 2 mol*7/2 R
c: 2 mol * 7/2 R
d: 2 mol*9/2 R
