Question

Which of the following is accurate when discussing specific heat?

A. Specific heat values for liquids will never vary for different ranges of temperature.
B. The specific heat of a gas may be measured at constant pressure.
C. The specific heat of a gas can be measured at constant volume only.
D. Specific heat values for solids will never vary for different ranges of temperature.

Answer 1

The specific heat of a gas can be measured at constant pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Option B. The specific heat of a gas may be measured at constant pressure.

Option A and C are opposite to the fact that the liquids and solids exhibit different specific heats at different temperatures. Option C is too restritive, indeed specific heat of a gas may be measured at constant volume but also at constant pressure. That is why option B is the accurate one.
