The two important experimental facts relating to the heat capacity of solids are (see Yoshioka page 67)
\begin{enumerate} \item ``Around room temperature, ordinary simple solids have a molar heat of about ![]() \item ``At low temperatures, the molar heat heat decreases in proportion to ![]() \end{enumerate} The Einstein model successfully reproduces the first experimental observation about the heat capacity at room temperature. However, the Einstein model FAILS to reproduce the ![]() ![]() We can also arrive at answer (D) by directly taking the limit of the given molar heat capacity as the temperature goes to infinity. ![]() Therefore, answer (D) is correct. |
