The heat capacity of most substances is greater for the _______________ state?
Correct answer: B. Liquid
- A. Solid
- B. Liquid
- C. Gaseous
- D. None of these
Explanation
For most substances, the liquid phase has a larger heat capacity than the solid phase because molecules in the liquid can access more modes of motion. The gaseous phase is not generally the largest, as seen clearly for water.
