The discussion focuses on calculating the total heat added to an ideal gas at constant volume when the pressure changes from ##P_i## to ##P_f##. The key equation derived is ##Q=nC_v(T_f-T_i)##, where ##C_v## represents the molar heat capacity and ##n## is the number of moles of the gas. The relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature is established through the ideal gas law, ##PV=nRT##. This analysis confirms that the heat transfer is directly related to the change in temperature of the gas.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying thermodynamics, physics enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding heat transfer in ideal gases under constant volume conditions.
The equations you have written can be used, provided you write ##Q=nC_v(T_f-T_i)##, where Cv is the molar heat capacity and n is the number of moles.diredragon said:Homework Statement

3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B]
So ##PV=nRT## and ##E=Q## ##Q=C_v(T_f-T_i)## so i just have to find ##(P_f-P_i)V=nR(Tf-Ti)## with the last term being what i need...?
