The answer I think it’s C I think.
Answer:
a. The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is less than the specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol.
Explanation:
The heating curve is a curve that represents temperature (T) in the y-axis vs. added heat (Q) in the x-axis. The slope is T/Q = 1/C, where C is the heat capacity. Then, the higher the slope, the lower the heat capacity. For a constant mass, it can also represent the specific heat capacity (c).
Heats of vaporization and fusion cannot be calculated from these sections of the heating curve.
