The heat capacity per mole of water is (...

The heat capacity per mole of water is (R is universal gas constant)

A

9R

B

6R

C

5R

D

5R

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We treat water like a solid. For each atom average energy is `3k_(B)T`. Water molecule has three atoms, two hydrogen and one-oxygen. The total energy of one mole of water is
`U=3xx3k_(B)TxxN_(A)=9RT" "[because k_(B)=(R)/(N_(A))]`
`therefore` Heat capacity per mole of water is
`C=(DeltaQ)/(DeltaT)=(DeltaU)/(DeltaT)=9R`
