Clarification on Heat Capacity

[Gladys Nava 1K]

for the specific heat capacity formula (Qp = nCpdeltaT), is Cp the molar heat capacity of a gas at constant temp or at constant pressure? I'm assuming pressure but i just wanna be sure.

[Steph Du 1H]

It is constant pressure. It couldn't be constant temp because you have a deltaT term in your equation meaning temperature is changing.

[Jarrett Sung 3B]

Cp is at constant pressure, while Cv would be at constant volume. In this equation specifically, Cp couldn't be at constant temperature because of the deltaT. If deltaT was 0, Qp would also be zero and Cp wouldn't even be necessary.

[Moura Girgis 1F]

Cp in the specific heat capacity formula stands for constant pressure, since the delta T in that formula is what stands for a change in temperature.

Cp stands for constant pressure in this formula.
