"The heat capacity of a solid compound is approximately equal to the sum of the heat capacities of the constituent elements." This is the statement of___________________?

Correct answer: B. Kopp's rule

  • A. Law of Petit and Dulong
  • B. Kopp's rule
  • C. Nernst heat theorem
  • D. Trouton's rule

Explanation

Kopp’s rule estimates a compound’s molar heat capacity by adding the approximate atomic heat capacities of its constituent elements. The Dulong-Petit law instead concerns the approximate atomic heat capacity of solid elements themselves.
