Question

1. - / 1.91 pointsdetailsmy notesthe following are acceptable definitions for heat, specific heat, and latent heat. state the appropriate term for the definition given.a.) the amount of heat needed to raise by one degree, the temperature of a unit mass.b.) a measure of an objects resistance to phase change.c.) energy that is transferred between two substances because they have different temperatures.d.) the amount of heat needed to complete the phase change of a unit mass.e.) a measure of an objects resistance to temperature change.

Explanation:

Part a

The definition "The amount of heat needed to raise by one degree, the temperature of a unit mass" matches the concept of specific heat, as specific heat ($c$) is defined by the formula $Q = mc\Delta T$, where $c$ is the heat per unit mass per unit temperature change.

Latent heat is related to phase changes (like melting, boiling), and a substance with higher latent heat resists phase change more. So a measure of an object's resistance to phase change is latent heat.

Heat is defined as the energy transferred between two substances due to a temperature difference. This is the fundamental definition of heat transfer.

Answer:

specific heat
