If the heat capacity of a 10g of a substance is 300J/K, the heat capacity of a 100g of the same substance would be equal to:Question 23Answera.30J/Kb.3,000J/Kc.3J/Kd.300J/K
Question
If the heat capacity of a 10g of a substance is 300J/K, the heat capacity of a 100g of the same substance would be equal to:Question 23Answera.30J/Kb.3,000J/Kc.3J/Kd.300J/K
Solution
The heat capacity of a substance is directly proportional to its mass. This means that if you double the mass of the substance, you double its heat capacity. If you triple the mass, you triple the heat capacity, and so on.
In this case, you're increasing the mass of the substance from 10g to 100g, which is a tenfold increase. Therefore, the heat capacity of 100g of the substance would be ten times the heat capacity of 10g of the substance.
So, the heat capacity of 100g of the substance would be 300J/K * 10 = 3,000J/K.
The correct answer is b. 3,000J/K.
