heat capacity of water vapor at constant pressure
(A) Calculate the specific heat capacity at constant volume of water vapor, assuming the nonlinear tri-atomic molecules has three translational and three rotational degree of freedom and that vibrational motion does not contribute. The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol.(B) The actual specific heat capacity of water vapor at low pressure is about 2000 J/kg*K. Compare this with your calculation and comment on the actual role of vibrational motion.he molar mass of water is 18 g/mol. (B) The actual specific heat capacity of water vapor at low pressure is about 2000 J/kg*K. Compare this with your calculation and comment on the actual role of vibrational motion.
(a) The specific heat capacity at constant volume (c v) is defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of the gas by 1 K if the volume of the gas remains constant.he molar heat capacity at constant volume (C V) is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of the gas by 1 K if the volume of the gas remains constant.
