In a certain polytropic process the volume of argon was increased `alpha= 4.0` times. Simultaneously, the pressure decreased `beta = 8.0` times. Find the molar heat capacity of argon in this process. Assuming the gas to be ideal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`-4.2 J K^(-1) "mole"^(-1)` where `n=(ln beta)/(ln alpha)`
