Pick out the wrong statement?
A Atomic heat capacities of the crystalline solid elements are nearly constant and equal to 6.2 kcal/kg-atom according to the law of Petit and Dulong
B Atomic heat capacities of all solid elements decrease greatly with decrease in temperature, approaching a value of zero at absolute zero temperature, when in the crystalline state
C Generally, the heat capacities of compounds are lower in the liquid than in the solid state
D The heat capacity of a heterogeneous mixture is an additive property, but when solutions are formed, this additive property may no longer exist
Correct Answer: Generally, the heat capacities of compounds are lower in the liquid than in the solid state

Pick out the wrong statement?
A Refractories used in muffle furnace should have low thermal conductivity
B The electrical resistivity of refractories drops rapidly with rise in temperature
