Answer:
i. Cv =3R/2
ii. Cp = 5R/2
Explanation:
i. Cv = Molar heat capacity at constant volume
Since the internal energy of the ideal monoatomic gas is U = 3/2RT and Cv = dU/dT
Differentiating U with respect to T, we have
= d(3/2RT)/dT
= 3R/2
ii. Cp - Molar heat capacity at constant pressure
Cp = Cv + R
substituting Cv into the equation, we have
Cp = 3R/2 + R
taking L.C.M
Cp = (3R + 2R)/2
Cp = 5R/2
