To determine whether it is possible for the specific heat capacity of a gas to be zero or infinite, we can analyze the definitions and conditions under which specific heat capacity is defined. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Specific Heat Capacity**: - Specific heat capacity (C) is defined as the amount of heat (Q) required to change the temperature (T) of a substance by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin). It can be expressed mathematically as: \[ C = \frac{Q}{n \Delta T} ...
