Question

Consider a substance that has high heat capacity. As compared to a substance with low heat capacity, when an equal amount of heat is applied to both, the high heat capacity substance will __________. View Available Hint(s)

Answer 1

Answer: will be raised through lower temperature change(lower ∆T) when compared to the low heat capacity substance.

Explanation:

Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance through 1°C(1 unit temperature).

Therefore the high heat capacity substance will require more heat to raise it through 1 unit temperature when compared to the low heat capacity substance. So when the same amount of heat is added to the two substance the high heat capacity substance is raised through lower temperature change when compared to the low heat capacity substance.
