Specific heat capacity: The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree centigrade is known as specific heat capacity. The specific heat capacity is calculated as follows: Where q = heat m = mass of a substance Cv = specific heat capacity ∆T = increase in the temperature1. If a definite amount of heat is supposed to definite amount of substance, then the increase in the temperature is given by: ∆T = qCv × m Hence the substance with the lowest heat capacity will show the highest increase in temperature. The heat capacity of the given substance is as follows: water (g) = 2.0 J/g °Cwater (s) = 2.03 J/g °Cgold (s) = 0.13 J/g °Cmercury (l) = 0.14 J/g °C The heat capacity of gold(s) is the lowest, hence it will show the highest increase in temperature. The correct option is as follows: gold (s)2. The substance with the highest heat capacity will show the lowest increase in temperature. The heat capacity of the given substance is as follows: iron (s) = 0.45 J/g °Caluminum (s) = 0.89 J/g °Cwater (l) = 4.184 J/g °Ccarbon (s) = 0.71 J/g °C The heat capacity of water (l) is the highest, hence it will show the least increase in temperature. The correct option is as follows: water (l)
