Raising the Temperature of 10

question 68

Multiple Choice

Raising the temperature of 10.0 g of water from 10.0 °C to 20.0 °C requires 100.0 cal of energy, while raising the temperature of 10.0 g of aluminum from 10.0 °C to 20.0 °C requires 22 cal. More calories are required to heat the water because

• A)water is a liquid and aluminum is a solid at 10.0 °C.
• B)ten grams of water occupies a larger volume than 10.0 g of aluminum.
• C)water has a greater potential energy than aluminum.
• D)water has a larger specific heat than aluminum.
• E)10.0 °C is closer to the melting point of water than to the melting point of aluminum.
