Specific heat of Li(s),Na(s),K(s),Rb(s) ...

Specific heat of `Li(s),Na(s),K(s),Rb(s)` and `Cs(s)` at `398K` are `3.57,1.23,0.756,0.363` and `0.242 J g^(-1)K^(-1)` respectively. Compute the molar heat capacity of these elements and identify any periodic trend. If there is trend, use it to predict the molar heat capacity of `Fr`.

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the molar heat capacity for each of the alkali metals given their specific heat capacities and atomic weights. The molar heat capacity (C_m) can be calculated using the formula: \[ C_m = \text{Specific Heat} \times \text{Molar Mass} \] Where: - Specific Heat is given in \( J \, g^{-1} \, K^{-1} \) - Molar Mass is given in \( g \, mol^{-1} \) ...
