Identify the INCORRECT pair with respect to the substances and their specific heat
capacity (J kg-1K-1) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Water – 1200.
- The specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (kg) of the material when its temperature increases 1 K (or 1 °C), and its units are J/(kg K) or J/(kg °C).
- Water has a specific heat capacity of 4200 Jkg-1K-1.
