Heat capacity of a gas
Heat capacity
C_v
is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass of gas with constant volume by 1°C, measured in units of cal/deg-mol (calories per degree gram molecular weight).
The heat capacity of oxygen depends on its temperature T and satisfies the formula
C_v = 8.27 + 10^(-5) * (26T − 1.87T²)
Use Simpson’s Rule to find the average value of C_v and the temperature at which it is attained for
20°C ≤ T ≤ 675°C.
