(For solid elements, looking up the specific heat capacity is generally better than estimating it from the Law of Dulong and Petit.) In the case of an ideal gas, determine the number d of degrees of freedom from the number of atoms in the gas molecule and use it to calculate CV (or use CV to solve for d).

Every degree of freedom contributes 12R to its molar heat capacity at constant volume CV and do not contribute if the temperature is too low to excite the minimum energy dictated by quantum mechanics. Therefore, at ordinary temperatures d=3 for monatomic gases, d=5 for diatomic gases, and d≈6 for polyatomic gases.
