C V = 2 3 R (for ideal monoatomic gas) and : P V − 1 = c o n s t a n t For the general polytropic process: P V x = c o n s t a n t We know C = C V + 1 − x R Plugging in x=-1 and the value of : C V , we get C = 2 3 R + 1 + 1 R = 2 R Now heat supplied to the gas is : Δ Q = n C ∫ T 0 2 T 0 d T = 1 ⋅ 2 R ⋅ ( 2 T 0 − T 0 ) = 2 R T 0
