Homework Statement



i solved for H=N1Cv1(Tf-T1)+V1(Pf-P1)+N2Cv2(Tf-T2)+V2(Pf-P2)

my TA says that i have to simplify this, i don't really see a good way to go about it

Homework Equations



Pf=(Tf/T1)P1 Pf=(Tf/T2)P2

The Attempt at a Solution

I think you could use the ideal gas law to get rid of the pV terms.
 
so since PV=NkbT

H=N1Cv1(Tf-T1)+N1kb(Tf-T1)+N2Cv2(Tf-T2)+N2kb(Tf-T2)

is there a relationship between kb and Cv?
