Problem 2.182

A soap bubble of radius rr is inflated with an ideal gas. The atmospheric pressure is p0,p_{0}, the surface tension of the soap water solution is α.\alpha . Find the difference between the molar heat capacity of the gas during its heating inside the bubble and the molar heat capacity of the gas under constant pressure, CCpC-C_{p}.

Reveal Answer
CCp=1/2R/(1+3/8p0r/α)C-C_{p}=1 / 2 R /\left(1+{ }^{3} /_{8} p_{0}^{\prime} r / \alpha\right)
