Difference between revisions of "Molar heat capacity"

Adding heat to a substance changes its temperature in accordance to $$\Delta Q=nc_M\Delta T$$ $\Delta Q=$ change in heat $n=$ moles of substance $c_M=$ molar heat capacity $\Delta T=$ change in temperature

At constant volume, $c_M=c_V$.
At constant pressure, $c_M=c_P$.

For an ideal gas, $c_P=c_V+R$ where $R=$ the ideal gas constant.
For an incompressible substance, $c_P=c_V$.

In adiabatic compression ( $\Delta Q=0$) of an ideal gas, $PV^\gamma$ stays constant, where $\gamma=\frac{c_V+R}{c_V}$. An excellent derivation of this can be found here.
