(∂T/∂P)H is the mathematical expression for__________________?

Correct answer: C. Joule-Thompson co-efficient

  • A. Specific heat at constant pressure (Cp)
  • B. Specific heat at constant volume (Cv)
  • C. Joule-Thompson co-efficient
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The Joule-Thomson coefficient is defined as μJT = (∂T/∂P)H, describing the temperature change with pressure during constant-enthalpy throttling. It is not a heat capacity, since Cp and Cv relate heat transfer to temperature change under specified constraints.
