Question

select the statement that accurately describes specific heat capacity. substances with a high specific heat capacity require less energy to change temperature. substances with a low specific heat capacity require more energy to change temperature. substances with a high specific heat capacity are hotter than substances with a lower specific heat capacity. substances with a low specific heat capacity require less energy to change temperature.

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. Substances with low specific - heat capacity need less energy to change temperature as they have a lower resistance to temperature change compared to substances with high specific - heat capacity.

Answer:

D. Substances with a low specific heat capacity require less energy to change temperature.
