Adiabatic Expansion of Gas: Does the Number of Moles Affect the Calculation?

[quietrain]

for 1 mole of gas, the adiabatic factor gamma is given by C_p,m / C_v,m
where the C are molar heat capacities

so if now i have 2 moles of gas

will my calculation change at all?

for example, if i use PV^gamma = PV^gamma

will anything change? it seems weird, it doesn't depend on the number of moles n

since n C_p,m / n C_v,m , the n cancels out

issn't this akin to saying adiabatic expansion of gas is the same for 1 mole VS 100 moles?

Do not worry about moles n. Calculation of physical quantity per mole do not depend on n.

alright thanks!
