Copper has a specific heat capacity of 0.0920 cal·K^-¹·g^-¹ at 298 K. What is the molar heat capacity of copper in J·K^-¹·mol^-¹?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the molar heat capacity, convert the specific heat capacity from cal·K^-1·g^-1 to J·K^-1·g^-1 using the conversion factor 1 cal = 4.184 J. Then multiply by the molar mass of copper (63.55 g/mol): 0.0920 cal·K^-1·g^-1 × 4.184 J/cal × 63.55 g/mol = 24.5 J·K^-1·mol^-1.
