Heat capacity of calorimeter
The problem is:
$\pu{30 mL}$ of water at $\pu{24.00 °C}$ were stored in a calorimeter in a laboratory experiment. Then, $\pu{40 mL}$ of water at $\pu{55.00 °C}$ were added to the calorimeter ...

How do I approach the problem if Cp is given as a function of volume?
Here is the problem I'm trying to solve:
A system undergoes Isothermal Expansion under the atmosphere. For the system, $ C_p = a + \frac{b}{V} \ $. The process is given by $ P_{ATM}, V_1, T_1 \...

Molar heat capacity of water at equilibrium
Molar heat capacity is defined as the heat energy given to one mole of substance to raise its temperature by 1 degree celcius (or 1 Kelvin)
Mathematically, $$C_{m} = \frac {q}{n\Delta T}$$
Here's a ...

Can anyone help me with the derivation for the formula of entropy?
I have this formula in the chapter of thermodynamics:
$$\Delta S = n C_v \ln\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right) + n R \ln\left(\frac{V_2}{V_1}\right),$$
where $\Delta S$ is entropy, $n$ moles, $C_v$ molar ...

Are Cp and Cv functions of temperature?
I have read that Cp and Cv are independent of temperature for the case of a perfect gas whereas for an ideal gas it will vary with temperature. The variation in Cp and Cv with temperature is ...
