At very high temperatures, a diatomic gas behaves like a rigid rotator with five degrees of freedom. If the temperature is increased further, what happens to the specific heat at constant volume ()?
It remains constant at 5R/2.
It decreases as the molecules dissociate.
It increases as vibrational modes become active.
It becomes infinite.
