An equal quantity of heat is supplied to two substances A and B. The substance A shows a greater rise in temperature. What can you say about the heat capacity of A as compared to that of B?

Answer»

Heat absorbed by a substance is given by 

H = msθ 

H = Heat capacity × rise of temperature. 

Since, H is same for both A and B, it is a clear that heat capacity is inversely proportional to the rise of temperature. 

Since, the rise of temperature A is more its heat capacity must be less. 

∴ Heat capacity of A is less than that of B.
