Using equipartition of energy, the specific heat (in \(J\, kg^{-1}\, K^{-1}\) ) of aluminium at room temperature can be estimated to be ( atomic weight of aluminium \(= 27\))

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(925\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using equipartition of energy, we have

\(\frac{6}{2} K T=m C T\)

\(C=\frac{3 \times 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23}}{27 \times 10^{-3}}\)

\(\therefore \mathrm{C}=925 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{kgK}\)
