Heat capacity of ideal gases
heat capacity of ideal gases
For ideal gases, the relationship between ({C})({p}) and ({C})({v}) is
({C})({p}) – ({C})({v}) = ({R})
The ideal gases have specific heat capacities
monoatomic ideal gas ∶ ({C})({v}) = (frac{3}{2}) ({R}), ({C})({p}) = (frac{5}{2}) ({R})
diatomic ideal gas∶ ({C})({v}) = (frac{5}{2}) ({R}), ({C})({p}) = (frac{7}{2}) ({R})
