What happens to the temperature of the green liquid as it absorbs more heat?

• It increases

• It fluctuates randomly

• It remains constant

• It decreases

What is the relationship between the amount of heat absorbed and the change in temperature?

• They are exponentially related

• There is no relationship

• They are directly proportional

• They are inversely proportional

What does the heat capacity of a substance indicate?

• The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the substance by one degree Celsius

• The amount of heat required to melt the substance

• The amount of heat required to evaporate the substance

• The amount of heat required to freeze the substance

Why is the heat capacity considered an extensive property?

• It depends on the shape of the substance

• It depends on the temperature of the surroundings

• It depends on the amount of matter

• It depends on the color of the substance
