    The document describes experiments conducted to calculate the ratio of specific heats (γ) for air, argon, and carbon dioxide using an apparatus designed to measure the oscillations of different gas masses. The experiments followed Ruchardt's and Rinkel's methods. The most accurate method was Ruchardt's, which yielded γ values that differed from literature values by 3.0%, 0.6%, and 1.5% respectively for air, argon, and carbon dioxide. Reasons for the discrepancies are discussed.
