Question

This table provides the specific heat values for several liquids Boiling temperature (°C) -33 78 Heat capacity (J g'K-1) Substance, liquid Ammonia Ethanol Gasoline Mercury Polyethylene Water 4.700 2.44 2.22 0.1395 2.9308 4.1813 33 t 357 105-130 100 "Household ammonia" is ammonium hydroxide.+depending on grade, additives, etc If each liquid were at least 20 C below their boiling temperature, which would increase its temperature the most quickly if the same amount of heat were added to each? Considering only heat capacities, which substance would provide the greatest thermal buffering if you needed to keep a sample at constant temperature? Considering all the data provided in this table, which substance would provide the greatest thermal buffering if you needed to keep a sample at constant temperature in Royall Hall 111?

Explanation / Answer

1) the correct option is mercury... The heat capacity of Mercury is very less which means it can get heated up very fast and can increase its temperature...

2) the correct option is Ammonia as the heat capacity is so high it can accept high amount of heat too without increasing its temperature to a certain extent..!!
