Heat Capacity at constant volume:

CV = (partial q / partial T) with V constant
since volume is constant, work is zero and dq = dU, so
CV = (partial U / partial T) with V constant

Delta U = CV * Delta T

Does this final relationship hold during a reaction where volume is NOT constant? Why or why not?
