When 229 J of energy is supplied as heat to 3.00 mol of argon gas at constant pressure, the temperature of the sample increases by 2.55 K. Calculate (a) the molar heat capacity of Ar(g) at constant pressure, and (b) the molar heat capacity of Ar(g) at constant volume. Assume that under the conditions of the problem Ar(g) behaves as an ideal gas.
