Heat energy is supplied at the same rate to 100 g of paraffin and to 100 g of water in similar containers. Why does the temperature of the paraffin rise more quickly?
A-The paraffin has a larger specific heat capacity than water.
B-The paraffin has a smaller specific heat capacity than water.
C-The paraffin is less dense than water.
D-The paraffin is more dense than water.

Answer:
The paraffin has a smaller specific heat capacity than water.
Explanation:
Given: Heat energy is supplied at the same rate to 100 g of paraffin and to 100 g of water in similar containers.
Find: Why does the temperature of the paraffin rise more quickly?
A-The paraffin has a larger specific heat capacity than water.
B-The paraffin has a smaller specific heat capacity than water.
C-The paraffin is less dense than water.
D-The paraffin is more dense than water.
Because paraffin has a lower specific heat capacity than water when heated to the same temperature, it warms up more quickly than water when the temperatures are equivalent.
Hence, correct option is (b)
