(a) List THREE ways energy is stored in pure graphite. (b) Explain why heat capacity at constant pressure, Cp, is always higher than the heat capacity at constant volume, Cv. (c) Write out a derivation that shows that heat transfer and enthalpy change are equivalent for constant-pressure processes when expansion work is the only source of work. Start from the definition of enthalpy, H= U+pV. (a) List THREE ways energy is stored in pure graphite.
