(i) Show that Cp = Cv+nR, for an ideal gas by using the first law of thermodynamics and the definition of Cp (heat capacity at constant pressure) and Cv (the heat capacity at constant volume), where n is the number of moles of gas. (4) (ii) Using the equipartition theorem of kinetic theory of gases, determine y = Cp/Cv for a diatomic gas. = (4) (iii) Identify processes A and B in Fig 2b.iii as isothermal or adiabatic, and explain; P 1 B V V Fig 2b.iii (4)
