As we learnt in

Specific heat capacity at constant pressure -

C_{p}= C_{v}+R

= left ( frac{f}{2}+1 
ight )R

- wherein

f = degree of freedom

R= Universal gas constant

 

 Given process is PV3= constant 

Heat capacity =\frac{dQ}{ndT}

PV3 = K      or     P=\frac{K}{V^{3}}

Work done = \int PdV=\int \frac{K}{V^{3}}.dV

\left.\begin{matrix} =\frac{K.V^{-3}}{-3+1} \end{matrix}\right|_{i}^{f}

=-\frac{K}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{V_{f}^{2}}-\frac{1}{V_{i}^{2}} \right )

=-\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{K}{V_{f}^{2}}-\frac{K}{V_{i}^{2}} \right )

PV=\frac{K}{V^{2}}        or     \frac{K}{V^{2}}=nRT

Work = -\frac{1}{2}\left(nRT_{f}-nRT_{i} \right )=-\frac{nR}{2}.\Delta T

\therefore \Delta Q=nC_{V}\Delta T+\left(\frac{-nRT \Delta T}{2} \right )

For monoatomic ideal gas 

C_{V}=\frac{3R}{2}

\Rightarrow \Delta Q=n\frac{3R}{2}\Delta T-\frac{nR}{2}\Delta T=nR \Delta T

\therefore C=\frac{\Delta Q}{n\Delta T}=R
