ANSWER:

Solution 45E

Step 1

The molar specific heat at constant volume is given by

 

Here  is the ideal gas constant and is given by

Hence the molar specific heat of ideal solid is

Now the atomic mass of aluminium is 26.98. Hence the molar mass of aluminium is

Hence the specific heat of aluminium at constant volume is given by
