Chapter 13, Problem 13E.1DQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecular features that have their affect over the magnitude of the constant-volume molar heat capacity of a molecular substance have to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The ratio of the total amount of internal energy of a substance with the resulting increased temperature is known as heat capacity.  The heat capacity of a substance at constant volume is denoted as $C_V$.  The heat capacity of a substance at constant volume is expressed as,

    $C_V={\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)}_V$
