Answer to Problem 1OQ
Option (c) The specific heat of ice is less than that of water.
Explanation of Solution
An amount of energy is added to ice by heat and raise it temperature from
Write the formula for specific heat
Here,
In the above equation, the mass and the temperature change of ice and water are the same. Thus, the specific heat is directly proportional to the energy added.
Since, water needs larger amount of energy to rise the temperature by
