An ideal gas with heat capacity at constant volume $C_V$ undergoes a quasistatic process described by $p V^{\alpha} = \text{constant}$ in a $p-V$ diagram,where $\alpha$ is a constant. The heat capacity of the gas during this process is given by

  • A
    $C_V$
  • B
    $C_V + nR$
  • C
    $C_V + \frac{nR}{1-\alpha}$
  • D
    $C_V + \frac{nR}{1-\alpha^2}$

One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas expands along the polytropic process $PV^3 = \text{constant}$ from volume $V_1$ to $V_2$. The molar specific heat capacity for this process is given by $C = C_V + \frac{R}{1-n}$. The total heat absorbed during the process can be expressed as:

During an experiment, an ideal gas is found to obey an additional law $VP^2 = \text{constant}$. The gas is initially at temperature $T$ and volume $V$. What will be the temperature of the gas when it expands to a volume $2V$?
