Question

Explain that heavier metal has lesser value of gram specific heat.

Solution

The molar specific heat of all the metals is approximately constant and is equal to 3R.
The formula for gram specific heat is given by,

Gram space spepic space heat space equals fraction numerator Molar space specific space heat over denominator Atomic space weight end fraction

i.e. gram specific heat is inversely proportional to the atomic weight of the metal.
Thus heavier is the metal lesser is the value of gram specific heat.
