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°Cor1K. The heat required to raise the temperature of a substance is calculated by the formula,

q=m×c×ΔT
