For the same mass, which one of the following has the maximum thermal capacity?
For the same mass, which one of the following has the maximum thermal capacity?
- A. wood
- B. copper
- C. water
- D. Ice
Step-by-step solution
Thermal capacity for a given mass is mass times specific heat capacity. Water has the highest specific heat capacity (≈4186 J/kg°C) among the options, so it has the maximum thermal capacity.
