The equation of a certain gas can be written as P2/5T7/5= const P−2/5⋅T7/5= const P.T(−2/57/5)= const PT−7/2= const. … (1)
Equation for any polytropic process, PT(γ/γ−1)= const..... (2)
Compare equation (1) and equation (2), we get, γ−1γ=−27 2γ=−7γ+7 5γ=7 γ=57
The specific heat at constant volume will be given by CV=γ−1R CV=25R
