The correct order of molar heat capacities measured at 298 K and 1...
The correct order of molar heat capacities measured at and is :
Options
- ACopper(s) > Bromine(l) > Helium(g)
- BBromine(l) > Copper(s) > Helium(g)
- CHelium(g) > Bromine(l) > Copper(s)
- 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 .
The molar heat capacity of Copper (a solid) follows the Dulong-Petit law, which gives .
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 .
Therefore, the correct order of molar heat capacities is Bromine(l) > Copper(s) > Helium(g).
Answer: Bromine(l) > Copper(s) > Helium(g)
