AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the statement "The greater the mass of a body, the greater is its specific heat capacity" is true or false, we can analyze the concept of specific heat capacity step by step. ### Step 1: Understand Specific Heat Capacity Specific heat capacity (c) is defined as the amount of heat (Q) required to raise the temperature of a unit mass (m) of a substance by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ c = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T} \] where \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature. ### Step 2: Analyze the Relationship Between Mass and Specific Heat Capacity ...
