(choose chapter or problem)

Your laboratory assignment for the week is to measure the specific heat ratio g of carbon dioxide. The gas is contained in a cylinder with a movable piston and a thermometer. When the piston is withdrawn as far as possible, the cylinders length is 20 cm. You decide to push the piston in very rapidly by various amounts and, for each push, to measure the temperature of the carbon dioxide. Before each push, you withdraw the piston all the way and wait several minutes for the gas to come to the room temperature of 21C. Your data are as follows: Push (cm) Temperature (C) 5 35 10 68 13 110 15 150 Use the best-fit line of an appropriate graph to determine g for carbon dioxide
