Here's the Question: The specific Heat of a substance is the amount of heat that must be added to 1g of the substance to raise its temperature 1degree C. Specific Heat is measured in calories. HERE IS THE TABLE
Substance:///////Specific Heat
Lead----------------.03
Iron------------------.10
Glass---------------.20
Ethanol------------.60
Water -------------1.00
Liquid Ammonia1.23
Questions:
a)What substance can absorb the greatest amount of heat before its own temperature rises?
b)What do the two substances with the lowest specific values have in common?
c)What property of ethanol might account for its relatively high specific heat?
d)Which would be a better conductor of heat: iron or glass?
e)What practical use would a substance with a very high specific heat have?
IF YOU can answer any of them plz do! thanks for the help
