Which of the following statements is true about the specific heat capacities of
various substances?
A•Liquid water has a relatively high specific heat capacity compared to most other
substances.B•Water has the same specific heat capacity regardless of its state,
C.Liquid water has a relatively low specific heat capacity compared to most other
substances.
D•Ice has a very low specific heat capacity compared to most other substances.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

.

A• Liquid water has a relatively high specific heat capacity compared to most other substances. This statement is true about the specific heat capacities of various substances.

  • The specific heat capacity of water can vary depending upon the state of water.
  • Liquid water absorbs heat directly from the sunlight, steam from geothermal heat, or from gas stove heat.
  • The liquid water is able to retain the heat for long duration.
  • The value of specific heat capacity of water varies from one state to another state that is from liquid to solid or gaseous state.
  • Moreover, the liquid water provides more surface area for the absorption of heat as compared to the ice that has a rigid structure. Thus specific heat of water in ice is low as compared to the water in liquid state.
  • Liquid water has the highest specific heat capacity as compared to any other substance.

Hence, option A. Liquid water has a relatively high specific heat capacity compared to most other  substances.
