Question

It is relatively easy to change the temperature of a substance that:_______
a. is an insulator.
b. has a low specific heat capacity
c. has a high specific heat capacity.
d. is brittle. e is very massive

Answer 1

Answer:

b. has a low specific heat capacity.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the specific heat is defined as the heat required to increase or decrease 1 degree Celsius 1 gram or mole of a specific substance, we infer that the lower the specific heat, the less energy will be needed for such increase or decrease, therefore, it turns out easier to modify the temperature in a substance that b. has a low specific heat capacity.

Best regards.
