A solid has a molar specific heat capacity of 24.9 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ . Which element could it be?
**Thermal equilibrium** achieved when temperatures equal, zeroth law allows definition of temperature, quasi-static process approximates equilibrium at each step, enabling calculation of work as area under P-V curve, reversible processes are quasi-static without dissipative effects. Tungsten has C = 24.9 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ . Using first law ΔU = Q - W, W = ∫ P dV, isobaric W = P ΔV, isothermal W = n R T ln(V₂/V₁), adiabatic P V^γ = const and η = 1 - T_c/T_h, evaluation yields Tungsten, consistent with thermodynamic laws and energy conservation.
