Cv for an ideal gas__________________?

Correct answer: D. Is independent of both pressure and volume

  • A. Does not depend upon temperature
  • B. Is independent of pressure only
  • C. Is independent of volume only
  • D. Is independent of both pressure and volume

Explanation

For an ideal gas, internal energy and Cv depend primarily on temperature, while pressure and volume are not independent effects. Therefore Cv is independent of both pressure and volume, although it may vary with temperature for a real temperature range.
