The specific heat capacity of a copper block of mass $\mathrm{M}$ is 's'. If the mass of the copper block is doubled, the specific heat capacity will be
  1. $2 \mathrm{~s}$
  2. $\frac{s}{2}$
  3. $\mathrm{s}$
  4. $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \mathrm{~s}$

Solution

Specific heat capacity of copper is $386.4 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$ therefore specific heat capacity will remain same. It is independent of mass of the substance.
