Formulas and Key Relations
Heat, work, and first law
ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW
ΔW = PΔV
ΔQ = ΔW
Specific heat capacity
s = (1/m)(ΔQ/ΔT)
C = (1/μ)(ΔQ/ΔT)
Cp − Cv = R
C = 3R
State variables, equation of state, and thermodynamic processes
For an ideal gas, the equation of state is PV = μRT.
Key relations
Specific heat capacity is s = (1/m)(ΔQ/ΔT).
Molar specific heat capacity is C = (1/μ)(ΔQ/ΔT).
