Assertion (A): The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise its temperature by 1°C.
Reason (R): The specific heat capacity of a substance is not its characteristic property.
- Both A and R are true.
- Both A and R are false.
- A is false but R is true.
- A is true but R is false.
Answer
Both A and R are false.
Explanation
Assertion (A) is false. The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of the substance by 1°C (or 1 K).
Reason (R) is false. The specific heat capacity of a substance is its characteristic property. It represents the substance's ability to store heat energy per unit mass and is an intrinsic property that is unique to each substance.
