Solution
Dear Student
The
equation
for
ideal
gas
is
nRT
=
PV
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
(
i
)
(
R
is
the
gas
constant
)
and
now
we
take
the
derivative
so
equation
becomes
,
nRdT
=
PdV
+
VdP
.
.
.
(
ii
)
Also
,
from
the
first
law
of
thermodynamics
dQ
=
dU
+
dW
and
,
dW
=
PdV
and
for
adibatic
process
,
dQ
=
0
and
,
dU
=
nCvdT
So
,
0
=
nCvdT
+
PdV
.
.
.
(
iii
)
Combining
(
ii
)
and
(
iii
)
−
PdV
=
nCvdT
=
Cv
R
(
PdV
+
VdP
)
Collecting
the
PdV
and
VdP
terms
gives
0
=
(
1
+
Cv
R
)
PdV
+
Cv
R
VdP
0
=
R
+
Cv
C
v
(
dV
V
)
+
(
dP
P
)
and
,
R
+
Cv
=
Cp
0
=
Cp
C
v
(
dV
V
)
+
(
dP
P
)
and
we
know
that
Cp
C
v
=
γ
So
,
0
=
γ
(
dV
V
)
+
(
dP
P
)
or
,
(
dP
P
)
=
-
γ
(

)
