Cv for an ideal gas

A. Does not depend upon temperature

B. Is independent of pressure only

C. Is independent of volume only

D. Is independent of both pressure and volume

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

For a real gas the $${C_V}$$ has an weak relationship with volume and pressure in many cases this relation can be neglected and depends only on temperature whereas for ideal gases $${C_V}$$ is solely dependent on temperature.
The usually relationship is given by $${C_V} = a + bT + C{T^2} + \,\,...$$     and these constants $$a, b, c…$$ varies from gas to gas.
