The density of water at 20^oC is 998 kg/m³ and at 40^oC is 992 kg/m³. The coefficient of volume expansion of water is

A piece of iron is heated in a flame. It first becomes dull red then becomes reddish yellow and finally turns to white hot. The correct explanation for the above observation is possible by using

The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by C_p and C_v, respectively. If  $$\gamma $$ = $${{{C_p}} \over {{C_v}}}$$ and R is the universal gas constant, then C_v is equal to
