Verizon @ * 17% ?. 7:47 AM a session.masteringphysics.com Heat to a Change in Temperature... MasteringPhysics ee wiere specific heat comes trom Now we are going to begin from the molecular properties of argon and see if we can get the same result. If we can, then we know that this specific heat number from chemistry is actually derivable from the molecular properties of materials! Part B Degrees of freedom Thinking about the molecular properties of argon as an ideal gas, how many degrees of freedom in argon

Explanation / Answer

If the molecular properties of argon are treated as an ideal gas, then each atom of Argon possess 3 degrees of freedom. however if a system of N atoms of Argon atoms is considered then the whole system has 3N number of degrees of freedom.

sometimes in computer simulations the center of mass of the systems is made stationary, hence remaining degrees freedom are 3n-1.

( *The question does not specifies properly which type of sstem is being dealt, hence i explained monoatomic gas as well as system of N particles.)
