At 100. oC, the constant-volume molar heat capacity of water
vapor is 27.5 J mol-1 K-1; this value rises to 33.1 J mol-1 K-1at
1000. oC. Based on these experimental values, what types (and how
many) of degrees of freedom are contributing to the heat capacity
of water vapor at each of these two temperatures? Clearly
distinguish which degrees of freedom are fully or partially
accessible. Do you expect the specific heat value to increase
significantly as the T is raised to 2000. oC? Briefly explain your
answer.
* please is can you solve the question without the phase rule
because we did not take it! , and explain
