Chapter 18, Problem 18.42E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Of the heat capacities $C_p$ and $C_V$, the one which is larger is to be stated. Whether this will always be the case or not is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The $H$ is given by the formula,

$H=NkT\left[{\left(T\frac{\partial \ln {\text{Q}}_{\text{sys}}}{\partial T}\right)}_{\text{V}}+1\right]$

The ${\text{Q}}_{\text{sys}}$ is given by the formula,

${\text{Q}}_{\text{sys}}=q_{\text{rot}}\cdot q_{\text{trans}}\cdot q_{\text{vib}}\cdot q_{\text{nuc}}\cdot q_{\text{ele}}$
