Question

You have two beakers of different types of oil, which have different specific heat capacities. You put each beaker in a water bath at 50 °C. The water is heated and stays at 50 °C. Which statement is true?

A: If you put the same amount of oil in each beaker, the temperature of the oil in each beaker will be the same at all times.

B:If the mass of oil in the two beakers is the same, the oil with the lower specific heat capacity will heat up more slowly.

C:If the mass of oil in the two beakers is the same, the oil with the lower specific heat capacity will heat up more quickly.

D:The oil with the higher specific heat capacity will heat up more quickly regardless of the mass of oil.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

C:If the mass of oil in the two beakers is the same, the oil with the lower specific heat capacity will heat up more quickly.

The answer is C
