What is the correct relationship between molar specific heat at constant pressure $(C_P)$ and constant volume $(C_V)$? ($R$ is the universal gas constant)

The molar specific heat of a gas as given from the kinetic theory is $\frac{5}{2} R$. If it is not specified whether it is $C_P$ or $C_V$,one could conclude that the molecules of the gas

What is molar specific heat? Write its unit and also definitions of molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume.

An ideal gas has molar heat capacity $C_V$ at constant volume. The gas undergoes a process where the temperature changes as $T=T_0(1+\alpha V^2)$, where $T$ and $V$ are temperature and volume respectively, and $T_0$ and $\alpha$ are positive constants. The molar heat capacity $C$ of the gas is given as $C=C_V+R f(V)$, where $f(V)$ is a function of volume. The expression for $f(V)$ is
