\text { Density at } 30^{\circ} C =875 kg / m ^{3}

 

Molecular mass = 78

 

\text { Specific heat capacity }=1.75 kJ / kg ^{\circ} C

 

k=3.56 \times 10^{-5} \times 1.75\left(\frac{875^{4}}{78}\right)^{1 / 3}=\underline{\underline{0.12} W / m ^{\circ} C } (8.12)

 

Experimental value, 0.16 W / m ^{\circ} C
