Table 2

Molecular weight (M), heat capacity (cp), and molecular heat capacity (cp,molec) for different background gases (Gas), where cp,molec = cp × M.

Gas M(g mol−1) cp (J g−1 K−1) cp,molec (J mol−1 K−1)
He 4.003 5.196 20.80
H2 2.016 14.23 28.69
N2 28.02 1.037 28.02
O2 31.99 0.916 29.30
CO2 44.01 0.820 36.09

Notes. The heat capacity values are taken at 0°C and 1 bar from Pierrehumbert (2010).
