    The document discusses molar heat capacities at constant volume (Cv) and constant pressure (Cp). It defines Cv as the heat required to raise 1 mole of a gas by 10°C at constant volume. It then derives that Cp - Cv = R, showing that for an ideal gas, Cp is greater than Cv by the amount of the gas constant R due to the additional work done when heating at constant pressure rather than constant volume.

    RAKESH RATHI’S CHEMISTRY TUTORIALS


    Molar Heat Capacity at constant volume: It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature
    of 1 mole of a gas by 10C or 1K at constant volume.
    Represented as Cv.
    Given by:
     dq 
    Cv =  
     dT  v
     dU 
    But at constant volume, dq = dU  Cv =  
     dT  v

    Derive Cp - Cv = R OR show that : Cp > Cv


    Show that the difference in molar heat capacities at constant pressure and at constant volume of a gas is
    equal to the gas constant.

    The enthalpy of 1 mole of an ideal gas is given by


    H = U + PV
    Differentiating the equation with respect to temperature at constant pressure.

    dH = dU P dV
    dT dT dT

    By definitions, Cp - molar heat capacity at constant Pressure


    Cv - molar heat capacity at constant Volume
    Cp = dH / dT and Cv = dU /dT,
    Cp = Cv + P dV/ dT ......(1)

    For 1 mole of an ideal gas:


    PV = RT
    Where R is a gas constant.

    Differentiating with respect to 'T' at Constant Pressure,


    d(PV) = R d(T)
    dT dT

    P dV = R
    dT
    Substituting in equation (1)
    Cp = Cv + R
    Cp - Cv = R
    Thus Cp > Cv by the amount of work done when 1 mole of an ideal gas is heated by 1K = R
