Chapter 6, Problem 6.20E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using the given equation, the argument for the statement that the heat capacity is infinite for a phase transition is to be done.

Concept introduction:

The molar heat capacity is represented by $c$. It is total quantity of heat essential to increase the temperature of a substance by $1°\text{C}\text{or}1\text{K}$. The heat required to raise the temperature of a substance is calculated by the formula,

$q=m\times c\times \Delta T$
