Question

The ratio of specific heat capacity to molar heat capacity of a body

• A. is a universal constant
• B. depends on the mass of the body
• C. depends on the molecular weight of the body
• D. is dimensionless

Answer 1

The correct option is C depends on the molecular weight of the body

Specific heat capacity(C) is the amount of heat required per unit mass to raise the temperature by 1K.

Molar heat capacity(s) is the amount of heat required per mole to raise the temperature by 1K.

Thus $\frac{C}{s}=\frac{moles}{mass}=\frac{1}{M_o}$
