What is one reason the noble gases are preferable to air
Chapter 18, Problem 18.85(choose chapter or problem)
What is one reason the noble gases are preferable to air (which is mostly nitrogen and oxygen) as an insulating material? (a) Noble gases are monatomic, so no rotational modes contribute to their molar heat capacity; (b) noble gases are monatomic, so they have lower molecular masses than do nitrogen and oxygen; (c) molecular radii in noble gases are much larger than those of gases that consist of diatomic molecules; (d) because noble gases are monatomic, they have many more degrees of freedom than do diatomic molecules, and their molar heat capacity is reduced by the number of degrees of freedom.
