Nailaaaaaa:

Could someone explain this?

Extrinix:

Highest specific heat capacity is how LONG it can stay at a high temperature for, so what do you think the answer is?

Nailaaaaaa:

I don't know

Nailaaaaaa:

I guess it's Substance A but I need to know the reason

Extrinix:

Look closer, it would be substance C because substance C can maintain it’s temperature for longer than the rest of them can.

Nailaaaaaa:

but it's mentioned on this website that the correct answer is Substance A

Extrinix:

Ohhhh, okay I see what was different, the graphs aren’t labeled, so A would be correct yeah.

Extrinix:

Reason being that the blue line (heat capacity) increases unlike the others which either decrease or stay the same.

Nailaaaaaa:

But even Substance C is increasing

Florisalreadytaken:

"Could someone explain this?" cooling takes longer for substances with higher specific heat. we can see that the x axis represents the time -- so basically which one of them lays the most on the x axis.

Nailaaaaaa:

They are all taking the same time

Florisalreadytaken:

they are not -- graph c takes more time than graph a, b or even d does but there is something going on with c though the top temperature is 0 can you see that

Nailaaaaaa:

Yeah but I found out that the correct answer is A on internet without explanation https://quizlet.com/293828117/calorimetry-lab-flash-cards/

Extrinix:

On the web, this doesn’t mean that the graphs are the `exact` same.

Nailaaaaaa:

no its the same

Florisalreadytaken:

that doesnt even match the question -- what are you saying pus, can we have a better screenshot? its not possible that max heat there is 0 why is it blurred?

Extrinix:

The max heat is 100\(^\circ\)C , but you are right with the fact that we can’t see the final temperatures because of the blurred out sections.

Nailaaaaaa:

It is exactly the same as my question I'll take a better screenshot

Nailaaaaaa:

Better now?

Extrinix:

That’s better, notice that the final temperature is higher than the rest, so your answer would be A.

Florisalreadytaken:

much more so if its asing gor which one of them has got the highest specific heat capac. then its C for the only reason that it takes more time, as you can obviously see there in the graph

Extrinix:

Final temperature, Flor.

Florisalreadytaken:

bro, final temp is 25 for both can you see?

Nailaaaaaa:

So, the reason is because Substance A is having higher temperature, higher temperture = higher specififc heat capacity right?

Extrinix:

Final temp for C is 22.78 Flor....

Nailaaaaaa:

no it's 22

Florisalreadytaken:

oh its written down i didnt notice lol

Nailaaaaaa:

So can you rewrite the reason, and thanks for the help!

Extrinix:

You’re welcome, just mistakes made lol.

Florisalreadytaken:

yeah yeah its A -- nice onelol why would they write it like there at the bottom where you cannot see :\

Extrinix:

Frrrr

Nailaaaaaa:

No, that's totally fine at least we found the answer and reason

Nailaaaaaa:

Higher temperture = higher specific heat capacity right? and that is the reason?

Extrinix:

Yeah.

Florisalreadytaken:

ok, just for clarification here it is FULLY explained
