The table shows the specific heat capacity of four substances


Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 395 People


brick, dry soil, paper, and water. If all four substances were exposed to sunlight for the same amount of time, which substance would heat up the slowest?

Answered by maham237 @



The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. Therefore, a high value of specific heat would mean that more heat is needed in order for the temperature to increase. The correct answer would be water since it has the highest specific heat of the choices given.
