    Calc Cv from T & V: How to Calculate Cv Homework

    I think we might be in the same class... I've been trying to verify my solution, but no luck so far. This is what I got: Cv = (dU/dT) dU = dq + dw, but dq = 0, so dU = dw and Cv = dU/dT w = -nRTln(V2/V1), but V2 = 1/2V1, so w = -nRTln(1/2), and dw = -nR*ln(1/2)*dT Substitute the...
