Question

State whether the specific heat capacity of a substance remains the same when its state changes from solid to liquid give reason for the support of your answer

Answer 1

no

for example = water

specific heat capacity of water =4.2J/kg/K

and specific heat capacity of ice = 2.1 J/kg/K

Answer 2

No, specific heat capacity does not remain the same when it changes from solid to liquid.

Example ice and water.

Ice has SLH 336J/gK

While water has SHC 4.2J/gK
