Solution
$C_{m} = C_{V,m} + \frac{P.dV}{dT} = C_{V,m} + \frac{P}{\alpha} = C_{V,m} + \frac{RT}{V.\alpha}$
$= C_{V,m} + \frac{R\left( T_{0} + \alpha V \right)}{V\alpha} = C_{P,m} + \frac{RT_{0}}{V\alpha}$
Now, $q = \int_{T_{1}}^{T_{2}}{C_{m}.dT} = \int_{V_{1}}^{V_{2}}{C_{m}.(\alpha.dV)}$
$= \int_{V_{1}}^{V_{2}}{\left( C_{P,m}.\alpha + \frac{RT_{0}}{V} \right)dV} $$$= \alpha.C_{P,m}\left( V_{2} - V_{1} \right) + RT_{0}.\ln\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}$$
