Question: (a) Assuming that no vibrational modes are active, estimate the specific heats Cp and Cv for water vapor at room temperature. Compare your calculated values

(a) Assuming that no vibrational modes are active, estimate the specific heats Cp and Cv for water vapor at room temperature. Compare your calculated values to values you find online. If the values are different, give at least 2 reasons why you think they're different.

(b) Toluene (C6H5CH3) has a specific heat Cp of 103.7 J/mol K and a Cv of 157 J/mol K at a temperature of 298 K and 1 bar. Find the ratio of specific heats, then find how many internal vibrational modes are active.

(c) If methane (CH4) has a ratio of specific heats = 1.222 at a temperature of 500 K at a pressure of 1 atm, how many internal vibrational modes are active?
