Question

why does the smaller piece of butter melt more quickly? choose 1 answer: a it has a smaller surface area, so it has a higher specific heat capacity. less heat must be transferred to the butter to raise its temperature. b it has a lower mass, so it has a lower specific heat capacity. less energy is required to reach the desired temperature. c both pieces of butter have the same specific heat capacity, but there are fewer molecules in the smaller piece. less thermal energy is required to raise their average kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Answer:

C. Both pieces of butter have the same specific heat capacity, but there are fewer molecules in the smaller piece. Less thermal energy is required to raise their average kinetic energy.
