Question

-------------------------------------------------

A material with a high thermal conductivity...

      
...stores a lot of heat.

      
...requires a lot of heat to change its temperature.
      
...has a high thermal energy.

      
...changes its temperature easily.

      
...transfers heat quickly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It takes about 4200 space straight J of heat to increase the temperature of 1 space kg of water by 1 space straight K .
How much heat is required to take 3.8 space kg of room temperature water (25 degree straight C ) to its boiling point at 100 degree straight C ?

      
1.2 cross times 10 to the power of 6 space straight J

      
1.6 cross times 10 to the power of 6 space straight J

      
6.0 cross times 10 to the power of 6 space straight J

      
5.6 cross times 10 to the power of 6 space straight J

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A material with a low heat capacity...

  
...transfers heat slowly.

      
...requires little heat to change its temperature.

      
...has a low thermal energy.

      
...does not change its temperature easily.

      
...stores very little heat.

Explanation / Answer

Accoridng to the given problem,

1.)A material with a high thermal conductivity,

Answer: transfers heat quickly

2.) We know that,

Q = mcT

Q = 3.8*4200*(100-25)

Q = 1.2 *106J

3.) A material with a low heat capacity,

Answer: requires little heat to change its temperature.
