The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gºC, the specific heat of wood is 1.760 J/gºC, and the specific heat of coal is 1.26 J/gºC. Which of these materials requires the
most heat to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius?
A) Water
B) All materials need the same amount of energy.
C) Coal
OD) Wood

the answer is   c.) 1575 j.

explanation:

the formula for the conversion of temperature from degree celsius to kelvin is:

the sample of water at is converted to kelvin temperature by using the above formula as:

on comparing the two samples of water at or we can say that at and at respectively. the difference between the temperatures of two samples of water is:

hence, one can say that the sample of water at is greater than the sample of water at by .
