Boiling water is changing into steam. The specific heat of boiling water is
- zero
- One
- Infinity
- less than one
Solution
Specific heat of any substance is the amount of heat transfer required to cause a unit rise in temperature of a unit mass of that substance of mass
When boiling water changes into steam there is latent heat involved cause its a phase change process, during the phase change process there is no temperature change, therefore,
Thus, the specific heat of boiling water undergoing through phase change is
