First law of thermodynamics

First law for isobaric processes

where

• is the molar specific heat for gas of constant pressure

For ideal gas

By the Ideal gas law, if is constant,

and therefore

which, using the equation from First law for isovolumetric processes, shows

Monatomic

As a consequence of the above, for a monatomic ideal gas
