question 19 of 25
what information does the specific heat capacity give about a substance?
a. how much heat is released when it changes phases
b. how much energy is needed to raise its temperature
c. how much heat is stored in its chemical bonds
d. how much energy is needed to overcome an activation energy

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one - unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It is related to temperature - change energy requirements, not phase - change heat, chemical - bond heat storage, or activation energy.

Answer:

B. How much energy is needed to raise its temperature
