There are all kinds of different dinstinctions in the internet, and I'd like to see what you guys thought.

Actually, I've been asked if the heat capacity of an ideal gas es independent of temperature. I've said no, even though it's practically invariant under small ranges.

Namely the result $Cv/n = \frac{3}{2}R$$C_V/n = \frac{3}{2}R$ is derived from a perfect gas and not an ideal gas and is only an approximation to the latter.

Is this true?

What really is an ideal gas? What's its difference with a perfect gas? Is my answer to the question I was posed correct?

Thanks.
