10.2 Molar Heat Capacity
Molar Heat Capacity of a gas is defend as the amount of heat required to be given to one mole of a gas to raise its temperature by ${1^o}C$ or $1K$.
$${C_m} = \frac{{\Delta Q}}{{n\Delta T}}$$
where,
${C_m}$= Molar Heat capacity of gas
$Q$= Heat
$T$= Temperature
$n$= Number of moles of gas
