The first law of thermodynamics is given by the equation:
\[
dQ = dU + dW
\]
where:
- \( dQ \) is the heat added to the system,
- \( dU \) is the change in internal energy of the system,
- \( dW \) is the work done by the system.
For a closed system, we will derive the equations for heat capacity at constant volume (\(C_V\)) and constant pressure (\(C_P\)).
### Heat Capacity at Constant Volume (\(C_V\))
At constant volume, the work done by
