Question

Specific heat capcity for the gas kept at constant colume is different to that when the gas is kept at constant pressure. State and explain whether the specific heat capacity for an ideal gas at constant pressure is greater or kless thant the specific heat capcituy of cgas at constant volume

Answer 1

For an ideal gas at constant pressure, it takes more heat to achieve the same increase in temperature than it does at constant volume. This is because, at constant volume all the heat goes into raising the temperature. ... Whereas , at constant volume it only includes the internal energy of the system.
