The equipartition theorem of energy in classical statistical mechanics says that the contribution to the specific heat cVof a degree of freedom whose variable q or pappears separate in the Hamiltonian as a quadratic term, q or p, it is equal to k/2 (k= constant of Boltzmann). a) Use this theorem to directly calculate the specific heat cV of a mixture of gases ideal, classical and diatomic. The mixture has Na molecules of the species a with a = 1, 2, ., C.
