Thermal 2

How do you measure the specific heat capacity of a gas?

One mole of Argon gas (molecular mass 40) is placed in a cylinder with a freely moving piston. The piston is fixed keeping the volume constant and 620 J of heat are added raising the temperature from 300 K to 350 K.

Determine the specific heat capacity of Argon at this volume.
