a) Why do the symbols for heat capacity have suffixes?
b) CV is different from CP. Which is larger and why?
c) Why is the difference between CV and CP often neglected for solids?

Expert Solution

A.) Heat capacity is denoted by C only.. c comes from capacity... Now for Cv , it denotes heat capacity of gases at constant volume . Here V denotes volume which is constant throughout the process.

Similarly , Cp is heat capacity of gases at constant pressure. P comes from pressure . In physics/chemistry we use suffix denotation for easy to understand.

B.) Cp is greater than Cv because Cp = R+Cv . Here R is gas constant that is equals to 8.314 J/mol.k.

C.) The heat capacity of gas at constant pressure Cp is greater than the heat capacity at constant volume Cv , because when heat is added at constant pressure, the substance expands and work is done.

The ideal gas heat capacity of nitrogen varies with temperature. It is given by: Cp = 29.42-(2.170 *10-3) T + (0.0582*10-5) T2 + (1.305*10-8) T3 – (0.823*10-11) T4. T is in K and Cp is in Joule/(mole K). Assuming that N2 is an ideal gas: A) How much internal energy (per mole) must be added to nitrogen to increase its temperature from 450 to 500 K. B) Repeat part A for an initial temperature of 273 K and final temperature...

The heat capacity, Cp, of liquid carbon disulfide is a relatively constant 78J(molK). However, the heat capacity of solid carbon disulfide varies greatly with temperature. From 99K to its melting point at 161K, the heat capacity of solid carbon disulfide increases linearly from 44 J/(molK) to 57 J/(molK). The enthalpy of fusion of carbon disulfide is 4390 J/mol. The absolute entropy of liquid carbon disulfide at 298K is 151 K/(molK). Estimate the absolute entropy of carbon disulfide at 99K.
