Heat capacity data are usually correlated as

  • A.a function of the pressure only
  • B.an exponential in reciprocal temperature
  • C.a polynomial in temperature
  • D.a single constant for every substance

Answer: C

Correct answer: a polynomial in temperature

Heat capacity varies with temperature, and the standard correlations express it as \( c_p = a + bT + cT^2 + dT^3 \) with tabulated coefficients for each substance. Integrating that polynomial between two temperatures gives the enthalpy change; using a single constant value is an approximation acceptable only over a narrow range.
