Question

Answer 1

Specific heat capacity depends on the kind of substance absorbing or releasing heat and is an intensive property. The amount of substance does not affect specific heat capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is true for the specific heat capacity for the four substances shown in the graph is that specific heat capacity depends only on the kind of substance absorbing or releasing heat. It is an intensive property, meaning the type of substance is all that matters. The amount of the substance does not affect specific heat capacity. For example, the small cast iron frying pan has a mass of 808 g. The specific heat of iron (the material used to make the pan) is therefore 0.449 J/g °C.
