Derivation:
ΔU = ΔQ + ΔW ΔU = Cv ΔT (At pressure is constant)
ΔQ = Cp ΔT (At pressure is constant)
ΔW = -P ΔV (Negative since the calculation been complete)
Pv = RT (1 mole of gas)
Because of pressure is constant, R is also constant
Change in V will make change in T
PΔV = R ΔT
Cv ΔT = CpΔT - RΔT
Divided by ΔT
Cv = Cp - R
Cp - Cv = R
ΔU = ΔQ + ΔW ΔU = Cv ΔT (At pressure is constant)
ΔQ = Cp ΔT (At pressure is constant)
ΔW = -P ΔV (Negative since the calculation been complete)
Pv = RT (1 mole of gas)
Because of pressure is constant, R is also constant
Change in V will make change in T
PΔV = R ΔT
Cv ΔT = CpΔT - RΔT
Divided by ΔT
Cv = Cp - R
Cp - Cv = R
