Solution

The correct option is A 52R
As distance between the atoms of a diatomic gas remains constant, vibrational degree of freedom will not be counted.
It possesses only translational and rotational degree of freedom.
f=3(translational)+2(rotational)=5
Since, specific heat at constant volume per gram-mole is molar specific heat at constant volume.
CV=(f2)R
CV=52R
