Question

Heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water through $1^{0}C$ is :

• A. 0.001 kcal
• B. 0.01 kcal
• C. 0.1 kcal
• D. 1 kcal

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0.001 kcal

Specific heat of water is $4.2J/g{}^{o}C$ and $4.2J=1cal$

So, heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water through $1^{0}C$ is $0.001kcal$
