The specific heat capacity of a substance is the quantity of heat required to

raise the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1 0 C.

raise the temperature of the substance by 1 0 C.

There are 2 pans of water, one has 100 mL in it and one has 1000mL. You add 4000 joules of energy, which one has the bigger change in temperature?

They the same material so they both heat to the same temperature

If I have 2 blocks of Aluminium (one of 1kg and one of 10 kg) and heat them up with 6,000 Joules of energy. Which one will have the SMALLEST change in temperature?

They both heat up to the same temperature

It depends on the temperature of the room

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

Low, so that it will change temperature quickly

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

If 1 kg of water and 1 kg of paraffin are supplied with the same amount of heat, the temperature rise of the paraffin is about twice that of water. This is because

the specific heat capacity of paraffin is less than that of water

the freezing point of paraffin is less than that of water

the force of attraction between the molecules of paraffin is less than that of water

the specific latent heat of fusion of paraffin is less than that of water

Given that 10 g of copper block and 100 g of copper block are heated with the same amount of heat. It is observed that 10 g of copper block is hotter than 100 g of copper block. Which of the following is true?

heat capacity of 10 g copper block is lower than 100 g copper block

specific heat capacity of 10 g copper block is lower than 100 g copper block

heat capacity of 10 g copper block is higher than 100 g copper block

specific heat capacity of 10 g copper block is higher than 100 g copper block

Given that 10 g of copper block and 10 g of clay block is heated with the same amount of heat. It is observed that the 10 g copper block is hotter than 10 g of clay block. Which of the following is accurate?

specific heat capacity of 10 g copper block is lower than 10 g clay block

heat capacity of 10 g of copper block is lower than 10 g of clay block

heat capacity of 10 g of copper block is higher than 10 g of clay block

specific heat capacity of 10 g copper block is higher than specific heat capacity of 10 g clay block

Both blocks have the same mass and heated with the same amount of heat energy in 40 minutes. Which statement is correct at the end of 40 minutes?

The final temperature of the graphite block is higher than sodium block

The graphite block has the lowest final temperature

The final temperature of the graphite block is lower than sodium block

The sodium block has the highest final temperature
