Chapter 20, Problem 46SP

(a)

To determine

The value of $c_v$ for a monatomic gas argon, given that $c_p$ for argon is $0.125\text{ cal/}\left(\text{g}\cdot °\text{C}\right)$ and $\gamma$ for argon is $1.67$.

(b)

To determine

The value of $c_p$ for a diatomic gas nitric oxide, given that $c_v$ for nitric oxide is $0.166\text{ cal/}\left(\text{g}\cdot °\text{C}\right)$ and $\gamma$ for nitric oxide is $1.40$.
