Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Water has a specific heat of 4.18 J/g

A	Wood
B	Water
C	Both are the same
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J / (g Celsius).

Detailed explanation-2: -The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(gi°C) and that of wood is 1.97 J/(gi°C).

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: molar heat capacity is J/mole C not J/gC. 4.18 J/gC x (18.0 g / mole) = 75.2 J/moleC.

Detailed explanation-4: -Liquid water has a specific heat of 4.18 J/(gx°C).
