To find the molar specific heat capacity of the gas involved, the following equations apply for any general gas that is calorically perfect. The property ? is either called the adiabatic index or the heat capacity ratio. Some published sources might use k instead of ?.

Molar isochoric specific heat:
:.

Molar isobaric specific heat:
:.The values for ? are ? = for diatomic gases like air and its major components,
