**Question:**What would be the effect on the specific heat of your metal if one drop (0.05 mL) of water at 100 degrees Celsius remained on your metal?**Options:**- ○ The effect would cause the specific heat to be much higher- ○ None of these choices are correct- ○ The effect would cause the specific heat to be much lower- ○ The effect would be negligible---**Explanation:**The question explores the potential impact of a drop of water at a high temperature on the specific heat capacity of a metal. Understanding the specific heat of a substance is essential for studying how it reacts to temperature changes. Considering the minute quantity of water (0.05 mL) compared to the metal’s mass, one can evaluate whether it significantly alters the metal’s specific heat capacity.

Specific heat is minimum amount of heat required to increase the temperature of unit mass of substance by unit temperature.The first step would be that some amount of heat will be used to evaporate that 1 drop of water. Then, the heat will be absorbed by the metal. Hence, the specific heat calculated will be higher than actual value due to excess heat absorbed by water drop. Ans. Option 1 - the effect would cause the specific heat to be much higher

In the above image, you have a solid at less than 0 oC. As you add heat (Q), the temperature of the solid increases until it hits a point when it would start melting. In the case of water, this is at 0 oC. Notice that at this point the temperature stops rising and we have a mixture of solid/liquid. We are still adding heat but the temperature is not changing. Once all of our solid becomes liquid, the temperature starts to rise again until it hits another plateau, at 100 oC. This is the point where the water boils and starts becoming a gas. Again, we add heat but the liquid/gas mixtures temperature does not change. Once all the liquid has become gas, the temperature will start to rise again. Is it possible to have 0 oC water and 0 oC ice? Yes or No?
