The constant-volume heat capacity of a gas can be measured by observing the decrease in temperature when it expands adiabatically and reversibly. If the decrease in pressure is also measured, we can use it to infer the value of γ = Cp /CV and hence, by combining the two values, deduce the constant-pressure heat capacity. A fluorocarbon gas was allowed to expand reversibly and adiabatically to twice its volume; as a result, the temperature fell from XXXXXXXXXXK to XXXXXXXXXXK and its pressure fell from XXXXXXXXXXkPa to XXXXXXXXXXkPa. Evaluate Cp.
