Question 96 of 168
Consider a gas of triatomic molecules. The molecules are assumed to be triangular and made of massless rigid rods whose vertices are occupied by atoms. The internal energy of a mole of the gas at temperature T is:
Show answer and solution
Answer: (D)
The formula of internal energy of a gas is given by
Here is the gas constant and is temperature.
For the given configuration of triatomic molecules, the degree of freedom
