The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by Cp and Cv, respectively. If γ = Cp / Cv and R is the universal gas constant, then Cv is equal to

Question

Accepted Answer

R / (γ - 1). The relationship between Cp, Cv, and γ for an ideal gas is given by Cp - Cv = R and γ = Cp / Cv. Rearranging these equations, Cv = R / (γ - 1).
