Question

Specific heat is the ratio of ......

• A. Heat capacity of substance to that of water
• B. Heat capacity of water to that of substance
• C. Thermal conductivity of substance to that of water
• D. Thermal potential of substance to that of water

Hint:

Because water has an exceptionally high heat capacity (\(1.0\ \text{cal/g}\cdot\ ^{\circ}\text{C}\)), the specific heat value of almost all other foods and biomaterials is a fraction less than 1.0.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
