One mole of an ideal gas $\left( \frac{C_P}{C_V} = \gamma \right)$ is heated according to the law $P = \alpha V$,where $P$ is the pressure of the gas,$V$ is the volume,and $\alpha$ is a constant. What is the molar heat capacity of the gas in this process?

  • A
    $C = \frac{R}{\gamma - 1}$
  • B
    $C = \frac{\gamma R}{\gamma - 1}$
  • C
    $C = \frac{R(\gamma - 1)}{2(\gamma + 1)}$
  • D
    $C = \frac{R(\gamma + 1)}{2(\gamma - 1)}$
