For a skillet, used for cooking, do you want a high or low specific heat?

• High, so that it will need more energy to heat up

• Low, so that it will change temperature quickly

True or False? Specific heat refers to the characteristic amount of heat absorbed or released when an object's temperature changes by 1 degree celsius.

• False

• True

• 25g

• 30g

• 20g

• 50g
