One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas expands along the polytropic process $PV^3 = \text{constant}$ from volume $V_1$ to $V_2$. The molar specific heat capacity for this process is given by $C = C_V + \frac{R}{1-n}$. The total heat absorbed during the process can be expressed as:

  • A
    $P_1 V_1 \left( \frac{V_1^2}{V_2^2} + 1 \right)$
  • B
    $P_1 V_1 \left( \frac{V_1^2}{V_2^2} - 1 \right)$
  • C
    $P_1 V_1 \left( \frac{V_1^3}{V_2^2} - 1 \right)$
  • D
    $P_1 V_1 \left( \frac{V_1}{V_2^2} - 1 \right)$
