Question

use the specific heat values to answer the following questions. which of the following has the smallest heat capacity? 3.0 g pb complete which substance would retain the most heat for the longest period of time? al(s) h₂o(s) h₂o(l) sn(s) done

Explanation:

Heat capacity is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance. A higher specific heat capacity ($C_p$) means a substance can retain more heat. Among the options, $H_2O(l)$ has the highest $C_p$ value (4.18 J/g·°C) compared to $Al(s)$ (0.897 J/g·°C), $H_2O(s)$ (2.03 J/g·°C), and $Sn(s)$ (0.227 J/g·°C).

Answer:

C. $H_2O(l)$
