If 100 g of water requires 1000 J of heat energy to raise its temperature by 1 °C, how much heat energy would be required to raise the temperature of 200 g of water by 1 °C?
2000 J
Why does 1000 J of heat energy raise the temperature of 100 g of sand by 12 °C, but only raise the temperature of 100 g of water by 2.4 °C?
Because the heat capacity of an object depends on the type of material
