(A) Calculate the specific heat capacity at constant volume of water vapor, assuming the nonlinear tri-atomic molecules has three translational and three rotational degree of freedom and that vibrational motion does not contribute. The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol.(B) The actual specific heat capacity of water vapor at low pressure is about 2000 J/kg*K. Compare this with your calculation and comment on the actual role of vibrational motion.he molar mass of water is 18 g/mol.

The process of changing from a liquid to a gas requires an amount of heat called the latent heat of vaporization. As heat is added to a liquid at its boiling point, all of this heat goes toward the phase change from liquid to gas, thus the temperature of the substance remains constant even though heat has been added.oiling on the other hand is a bulk process, so at the boiling point molecules anywhere in the liquid may be vaporized, resulting in the formation of vapor bubbles. The boiling point corresponds to the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the substance equals the ambient pressure.
