Question

If specific heat of a substance is infinite, it means:

• A. Heat is released.
• B. Heat is absorbed.
• C. Temperature does not change.
• D. Infinite amount of heat is released.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Temperature does not change.

The formula to calculate specific heat is:
$Q=mc△\theta$
where
$Q:$ Amount of heat transferred
$m:$ Mass of object
$c:$ Specific heat coefficient
$△\theta :$ Temperature changed

$⟹c=\frac{Q}{m\Delta \theta }$
Since $c=\infty$
Hence, $\Delta \theta =0$
