The molar heat capacity of rock salt at low temperature varies with temperature according to Debye's T^3 law Thus C=k T^3 ^3 where k=1940 Jmol ⁻¹ ~K ⁻¹ =281 ~K Calculate how much heat is required to raise the temperature of 2 moles of rock salt from 10 K to 50 K
Options
- A800 J
- B373 J
- C273 J
- DNone Of these
Correct answer
C. 273 J
Step-by-step solution
aligned & d Q=n C d T & d Q=n k T^3 ^3 d T & Q= n k ^3 _ T₁ ^ T₂ T^3 d T & = n K ^3 ( T₂^4-T₁^4 4 ) & = 2 1940 (50^4-10^4 ) (281)^3 4 & =272.79 ~J =273 ~J aligned
