A molecule of a gas has six degrees of freedom. Then the molar specific heat of the gas at constant volume is
A
R/2
B
R
C
3R/2
D
3R
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
For a molecule with six degrees of freedom, the molar specific heat at constant volume is given by C_v = f/2 * R = 6/2 * R = 3R.
