The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by $C_{P}$ and $C_{V}$ respectively. If $\gamma = \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}$ and $R$ is the universal gas constant,then $C_{V}$ is equal to
For all gases,$C_P - C_V$ is a constant. Does this imply that for all gases,$\frac{C_P}{C_V}$ is also a constant?
