E) gmole °F

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Molar heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by one degree Celsius, hence its units would be J/mole°C. Option A is incorrect as it is using Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. Option B seems to contain the right variable, but it lacks the molar quantity, making it incorrect. Option D has the unit of mass in it, making it incorrect. Option E uses Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, and also contains the wrong unit (gmole instead of mole).
