The chart shows specific heat data for four substances. A chart with 2 columns and 5 rows. The first column is labeled substance
with entries W, X, Y, Z. The second column is labeled specific heat with entries 2.542, .900, 3.209, 1.657. Which conclusion is best supported by the data? Substance X has a lower atomic mass than substance W. Substance Y has a higher atomic mass than substance X. Substance Y has more atoms per gram than substance W. Substance Z has fewer atoms per gram than substance X.
Substance Y has more atoms per gram than substance W.
Explanation:
The best conclusion supported by the data suggests that substance Y has more atoms per gram compared to substance W:
Chart;
2.542 W
0.900 X
3.209 Y
1.657 Z
From the chart above see that Y has more specific heat W. This implies that Y will require more energy to raise the temperature of the substance compared to W.
Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1K.
The more the amount of matter per gram present, the more the specific heat it will have.
