why substance having low specific heat capacity gets heated faster than another one with equal mass than having high specific heat capacity?

Detail is given below.

Explanation:

The substances with higher value of specific heat capacity require more heat to raise the temperature by one degree as compared the substances having low value of specific heat capacity. For example,

The specific heat capacity of oil is 1.57 j/g. K and for water is 4.18 j/g.K. So, water take a time to increase its temperature by one degree by absorbing more heat while oil will heat up faster by absorbing less amount of heat.

Consider that both oil and water have same mass of 5g and change in temperature is 15 K. Thus amount of heat thy absorbed to raise the temperature is,

For oil:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 5 g× 1.67 j/g K × 15 K

Q = 125.25 j

For water:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 5 g× 4.18 j/g K × 15 K

Q = 313.5 j

we can observe that water require more heat which is 313.5 j to increase its temperature.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.

nuclear fission produces elements that are heavier than helium.

the elements that are used in nuclear fission and their products are much heavier than helium.
