Question
Water has specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC while copper has a specific heat of 0.387 J/g oC. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?
a. It takes more heat to raise the temperature of water 1 degree Celsius than to raise the temperature of copper 1 degree Celsius.
b. It takes more heat to raise the temperature of copper 1 degree Celsius than to raise the temperature of water 1 degree Celsius.
c. When heat is added to water, its temperature increases before its hydrogen bonds are disrupted.
d. When heat is added to water, its covalent bonds break before its temperature begins to increase.
e. It takes the same amount of heat to raise the temperature of copper and water by 1 degree Celsius.
Explanation / Answer
a)true b) false c) until the boiling point the temp will increase, but at the boiling point. at this point the heat will be used for the water's heat of vaporization and after the heat of vaporization is being used by the heater, the water's temp will increase and starts to vaporize. d) false e)false
