The correct order of molar heat capacities measured at 298 K and 1 bar is :
Select the correct option:
A
Copper(s) > Bromine(l) > Helium(g)
B
Bromine(I) > Copper(s) > Helium(g)
C
Helium(g) > Bromine(I) > Copper(s)
D
Helium(g) > Bromine(I) = Copper(s)
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
Generally molar heat capacity of liquids is greater than solids because liquids have greater degrees of freedom \& thus can store more energy with lesser temperature rise.
Also for monoatomic gases molar heat capacity is low as only transalational degrees of freedom are present.
∴ order is :
$$
\mathrm{Br}_2(\ell)>\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{~s})>\mathrm{He}(\mathrm{~g})
$$
