Problem 6.193

Can one consider the temperatures 20 and 30 K30 \mathrm{~K} as low for a crystal whose heat capacities at these temperatures are equal to 0.226 0.226 and 0.760 J/molK) 0.760 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol} \cdot \mathrm{K}) ?

Reveal Answer
6.193 . Yes, because the heat capacity is proportional to T3T^{3} at these temperatures.
