An ideal gas whose adiabatic exponent equals γ is expanded according to the law P = α V2, where α is a constant. The initial volume of the gas is equal to V0. As a result of expansion, the volume doubles.

What is the molar heat capacity of the gas in the process?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

C = Cv + (P dV)/(n dT). PV = nRT with P = α V2 gives α V3 = nRT, so 3α V2dV = nR dT and (P dV)/(n dT) = (α V2dV)/(n dT) = R/3. C = R/(γ-1) + R/3 = (R(γ+2))/(3(γ-1)). Matches (d).
