Accepted Answer

$$36\ \mathrm{cal}$$

Question 13

Which of the following statements about specific heat is correct?

Accepted Answer

Specific heat is the amount of heat that raises the temperature of exactly $$1\ \mathrm{g} of a $$substance by $$1\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}.$$

Question 14

Which of the following best describes a compound?

Accepted Answer

A pure substance composed of two or more elements combined in a fixed ratio.
