Which two substances are among the four major types or organic compounds made by living things, The answer C,
would be carbon dioxide
Here we have to identify the sample which need more energy to heat the sample 1 degree Celsius.
Among the given elements magnesium will require more energy than the others to heat.
As per the definition of specific heat of a compound, the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of the material 1 degree Celsius is the specific heat of the material.
The given data are-
substance specific heat
Lead 0.129
Tin 0.21
Silver 0.235
Iron 0.449
Calcium 0.647
Granite 0.803
Aluminium 0.897
Magnesium 1.023
From the given data lead, magnesium, iron and aluminium have the specific heat 0.129, 1.023, 0.449 and 0.897 respectively. Thus magnesium will require more energy than the others to heat.
