Chapter 2, Problem 2B.5E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar heat capacities at constant volume and constant pressure of the gas have to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

For a specified system, the heat capacity $C$ of any substance is given by

$C=\frac{q}{\Delta T}$

Where, $q$ is the heat transferred and $\Delta T=T{f}_{}-T_i$ is the temperature change in the system.

Where change in temperature, $\Delta T=\frac{q}{C_p}=\frac{q}{n{C}_p}$, $n$ is the number of moles and $C_p$ is the constant pressure heat capacity of water.
