Question

Match the following:
Column A
Column B
(1) Unit of specific heat
(2) Unit of specific latent heat
(a) cal.
(b) cal./g
+(c) cal/g. °C
(d) cal.g​

Answer 1

(1) Unit for specific heat is cal/g °C (Option c)

(2) Unit for specific latent heat is cal/g (Option b)

Answer 2

The correct match are 1 - c and 2- b

• The specific heat is defined as the amount of energy measured in calorie required to raise the temperature in 1 C acting upon the mass of 1 gram is called specific heat.
• That is option c - cal/g.C
• The specific latent heat, the amount of heat is provided to give change the mass in gram  and the energy is provided in calorie that is called the specific latent heat.
• The specific heat can be written in S.I system also that is J/Kg. K
• The specific latent heat can be written in S.I system that is J/Kg
