The correct order of molar heat capacities measured at 298 K and 1 bar is :

Options

  1. ACopper(s) > Bromine(l) > Helium(g)
  2. BBromine(l) > Copper(s) > Helium(g)
  3. CHelium(g) > Bromine(l) > Copper(s)
  4. DHelium(g) > Bromine(l) = Copper(s)

Correct answer

B. Bromine(l) > Copper(s) > Helium(g)

Step-by-step solution

The molar heat capacity of Helium (a monatomic gas) at constant pressure is C_p = 5 2 R 20.8 J K ⁻¹ mol ⁻¹ . The molar heat capacity of Copper (a solid) follows the Dulong-Petit law, which gives C_p 3R 24.9 J K ⁻¹ mol ⁻¹ . The molar heat capacity of Bromine (a diatomic liquid) is significantly higher due to translational, rotational, and vibrational degrees of freedom along with intermolecular interactions in the liquid state, having C_p 75.7 J K ⁻¹ mol ⁻¹ . Therefore, the correct order of molar heat capacities is
