You have a solid that occupies 2 moles with a specific heat capacity of 3R. If each mole can be described by energy U = 3kBT, calculate the total thermal energy at a temperature of 300 K.
💡 Hint: Use the specific heat capacity relation to find thermal energy.
If two materials have specific heat capacities of 3R and 5R respectively, calculate how much of a temperature increase can be achieved if you add the same amount of heat to each.
💡 Hint: Apply C = Q/(nΔT) to find relationships.
