MCQ
Specific heat may be defined as:
  • A
    Heat capacity at constant volume
  • B
    Heat capacity at constant pressure
  • C
    Heat capacity mol−1
  • D
    Heat capacity g−1

Answer

  1. Heat capacity g−1

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one-degree celsius is known as specific heat. Heat capacity is the amount of heat added to a substance to raise its temperature by one kelvin.

Thus, specific heat may be defined as heat capacity per gram.
