Question

The specific heat capacity of water is

• A. 4200 J/kg°C
• B. 4300 J/kg°C
• C. 4250 J/kg°C
• D. 5000 J/kg°C

Answer 1

The correct option is A

4200 J/kg°C

1. Specific heat is the amount of heat required to change the heat content of exactly 1 gram of a material by 1°C.
2. The specific heat of water is 4200 J/kg°C.

Hence, option(A) is the correct answer.
