Formula of enthaply (delta H)=(deltaE)+PV
Equation of ideal gas=pv=nRT
From equation we get pv=RT   (where n=1)
subtitute pv value in enthalpy we get                       
E+RT=H
differentiate the ‘H’ with respect to T we get
dE/dt+R=dH/dt
substitute dE/dt =cv and dH/dt=cp we get
cv+R=cp
cp-cv=R
      or
cp-cv=gama
