Answer

$ C_V = 65.5J/mol.K $ $ C_p = 73.8 J /mol.K $

Work Step by Step

We know that $\frac{C_p}{C_V} = \gamma = 1.127$ and $R = 8.314 J/mol.K$ The molar heat capacity at constant volume $C_V = C_p - R$ $C_V = \gamma C_V - R$ $C_V - \gamma C_V = - R$ $C_V - 1.127 C_V = - 8.314 J/mol.K$ Now we solve for $C_V$ $-0.127 C_V = - 8.314 J/mol.K$ $C_V = \frac{- 8.314 J/mol.K}{-0.127 } $ $ C_V = 65.5J/mol.K $ The molar heat capacity at constant pressure is $C_p$ $ C_p = C_V + R$ $ C_p = 65.5J/mol.K + 8.314 J/mol.K $ $ C_p = 73.8 J /mol.K $
