Which statement about units is correct?
Temperature is measured in °C and energy in J
1 of 5
The specific heat capacity of water is 4181 J/kg/°C and that of lead is 128 J/kg/°C. This means:
More energy is needed to heat water than is needed to heat the same mass of lead by the same amount
2 of 5
As a solid melts:
its temperature stays the same
3 of 5
The specific latent heat of melting for lead is 22.4 kJ/kg and that of oxygen is 13.9 kJ/kg. This means:
more energy is needed to melt lead than is needed to melt oxygen
4 of 5
Which equation is correct?
energy = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature
