If specific heat of a substance is infinite, it means

A

heat is given out

B

heat is taken in

C

no change in temperature whether heat is taken in or given out

D

all of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Infinite thermal capacity implies that the would be prctically no change in temperature whether heat is taken in or given out.

How much heat (in joule) is required to raise the temperature of 205 g of water from 21.2^(@)C to 91.4^(@)C . Specific heate of water is 4.18 J g^(-1) .^(@)C^(-1) Strategy : The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1^(@C . Thus Specific heat = (("Amount of heat in joules"))/(("Mass of substance in grams")("Temperature change in" .^(@)C)) Rearrangement gives. Amount of heat (q) = Mass of substance (m) xx Specific heat (c ) xx Temperature change (Delta T)

Assertion : Specific heat of any substance remains constant at all temperatures. Reason : It is given by s= 1/m * (dQ)/(dt) .
