Cv vs Cp

Postby Junghyuk_Park_1I » Thu Jan 19, 2017 10:22 pm

What exactly is the difference between c, Cv, and Cp? When would each be used and why are the three different designations necessary? Thanks in advance!

at constant volume vs at constant pressure. Read the question if it says a monatomic and at constant pressure you use the one that corresponds to the conditions.
