The permeability of packaging materials to CO2 is 6 times higher than the permeability to O2, which is 4 times higher than nitrogen. Despite its bigger molecular weight, carbon dioxide presents a much higher permeability, Why

Due higher critical temperature, condensability and gas solubility.

Explanation:

The permeability of packaging materials to CO2 is 6 times higher than the permeability to O2 and nitrogen because carbondioxide gas has higher condensability and higher gas solubility in membranes. Due to its higher condensability and solubility, carbondioxide gas is more permeable that other gases such as oxygen and nitrogen gases. Carbondioxide gas also have  higher critical temperature than other gases which make it more permeable than other gases.

I would use calorimetric to determine the specific heat and I would measure the mass of a sample. I would measure the mass of a sample of the substance. I would heat the substance to a known temperature. I would place the heated substance into a coffee-cup calorimeter containing a known mass of water with a known initial temperature. I would wait for the temperature to equilibrate, then calculate temperature change. I would use the temperature change of water to determine the amount of energy absorbed. I would use the amount of energy lost by substance, mass, and temperature change to calculate specific heat.
