The difference between C P and C V can be derived using the empirical relation H = U + PV . Calculate the difference between C P and C V for 10 mole of an ideal gas.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

o C_P is the heat capacity at constant pressure and C_V is the heat capacity at constant volume.

o For an ideal gas, the difference between these two is C_P - C_V = nR, the universal gas constant and where n= no. Of moles.

o Hence for 10 moles of an ideal gas C_P - C_V = 10 R

= 10 × 8.314 J

= 83.14 J
