An ideal gas with heat capacity at constant volume $C_V$ undergoes a quasistatic process described by $p V^{\alpha} = \text{constant}$ in a $p-V$ diagram,where $\alpha$ is a constant. The heat capacity of the gas during this process is given by

  • A
    $C_V$
  • B
    $C_V + nR$
  • C
    $C_V + \frac{nR}{1-\alpha}$
  • D
    $C_V + \frac{nR}{1-\alpha^2}$
