enthalpy constants?

[Mallika Singh 1G]

what exactly was the purpose of the 3/2R and 5/2R constants? when would we need to use them?

[Jessica Castellanos]

For a detailed description and related exercises, check p.264 in the textbook and 4C exercises.

[Daniel Yu 1E]

It's for ideal gases, and if they're monatomic, diatomic, and so on. For Chem 14B we are only concerned about monatomic and diatomic ideal gases.

[PranaviKolla2B]

Which one, 3/2R or 5/2R, corresponds with constant volume and which corresponds with constant pressure?

[andrewcj 2C]

I believe they pertained to kinetic energy.

[Andrew Yoon 3L]

I think that those constants are used for ideal gases.

[Chinyere Okeke 2J]

These are constants that we can use when looking at ideal gases. I think we can use them when we don't know the Cv and Cp but we do know that the gas is ideal (monoatomic/diatomic).
