Question

Specific heat capacity depends on the mass of the substance. True or False?

(a) True

(b) False

Answer 1

Right option is (b) False

The explanation is: Specific heat capacity is defined as the heat capacity per unit mass for a substance.                          s = ΔQ/mΔT.                                                                                                                                                                            So, no matter what mass of a substance we take                                                                                                                       ‘s’ will be equal to (ΔQ/ΔT) divided by that mass,                                                                                                  which means ‘s’ doesn’t depend on the mass.
