MCQ
Heat capacity of a substance depends on:
- AThe mass of the substance.
- BThe temperature of the substance.
- ✓Both $(a)$ and $(b).$
- DNeither $(a)$ nor $(b).$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Both $(a)$ and $(b).$
$S$ depends on the mass of the substance and it: temperature.
Heat capacity, $\text{S} = \frac{\text{Heat consumed by given mass}}{\text{Temperature raised}}$
If given mass is increased, then $S$ increases.
Heat capacity, $\text{S} = \frac{\text{Heat consumed by given mass}}{\text{Temperature raised}}$
If given mass is increased, then $S$ increases.
