Heat is supplied to a certain homogeneous sample of matter, at a uniform rate. Its temperature is plotted against time, as shown Which of the following conclusions can be drawn?
(i) Its specific heat capacity is greater in the solid state than the liquid state.
(ii) Its specific heat capacity is greater in the liquid state than in the solid state.
(iii) Its latent heat of vaporization is greater than its latent heat of fusion.
(iv) Its latent heat of vaporization is smaller than its latent heat of fusion

Options

A. Its specific heat capacity is equal in the solid state than in the liquid state.
B. Its specific heat capacity is greater in the liquid state than in the solid state.
C. its talent heat vaporization is greater than its latent heat of fusion.
D. its latent heat of vaporization is smaller than its latent heat of fusion.

Answer

C

Explanation

Slope of graph is greater in the solid state i.e., temperature is rising faster, hence lower heat capacity
The transition from solid to liquid state takes lesser time, hence latent heat is smaller.
