The table shows the specific heat capacities of various substances. Which substance requires the least energy to heat it by 1°C?

Respuesta :

Silver is the best conductor of heat and will require the least amount of energy to heat it by 1⁰C.

What is specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity of an object is the quantity of heat require to raise a unit mass of the substance by 1 kelvin.

The specific heat of the given substances;

Water = 4186 J/kg⁰C

Copper = 385 J/kg⁰C

Concrete = 850 J/kg⁰C

Iron = 450 J/kg⁰C

Silver = 233 J/kg⁰C

Air = 1005 J/kg⁰C

The material that will require the least energy to heat it by 1 ⁰C is a material with the highest thermal conductivity and least specific heat capacity.

Thus, silver is the best conductor of heat and will require the least amount of energy to heat it by 1⁰C.
