Do substances that heat up quickly normally have high or low specific heat capacities?
To Explain: Whether substances have high or low specific heat capacity which heat up quickly.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Specific heat capacity represents the quantity of heat energy essential to increase the temperature of a unit mass by a unit degree.
A material havinglow specific heat capacity heats up and cools down quickly as compared to the materials havinghigh specific heat capacity.
Conclusion:
Substances with low specific heat capacity heat up quickly
