8.43 Heat Capacity (Units)

[Kyle Sheu 1C]

For Exercise 8.43, is there a reason why heat capacity is given in J/mol ?

Heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree C (or 1 K ), so shouldn't the units be J/degree C ?

[Shawn Patel 1I]

Hey,
Molar heat capacity is usually given by J.K^-1.mol^-1, so I think the book left out the temperature units for 8.43.
