Question

A substance with more specific heat can absorb a greater amount of heat for a given mass.

State whether given statement is True/False

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and temperature change is usually expressed in the form shown below where c is the specific heat. The relationship does not apply if a phase change is encountered, because the heat added or removed during a phase change does not change the temperature.

​

Heat added= specific heat × mass × change in temperatures.

Hence Higher the specific heat, greater amount of heat is absorbed .

Option A is correct.
