Identify the correct statement.

Air requires the most energy to increase its temperature followed by iron and then aluminum.
Iron requires the most energy to increase its temperature followed by aluminum and then air.
Air requires the most energy to increase its temperature followed by aluminum and then iron.
Iron requires the most energy to increase its temperature followed by air and then aluminum.

Answer 1

The correct statement regarding the specific heat capacity of the substance is as follows: air requires the most energy to increase its temperature followed by aluminum and then iron.

What is specific heat capacity?

Specific heat capacity of a substance refers to the amount of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of a system by one temperature unit (1°C or 1K) without any change of phase.

According to this question, the specific heat of different elements are as follows:

1. Aluminum = 0.900 J/g°C
2. Air = 1.01 J/g°C
3. Iron = 0.450 J/g°C

Therefore, it can be said that air requires the most energy to increase its temperature followed by aluminum and then iron.
