During the process of conversion of ice into the water, the specific heat capacity is given by _______(a) 0(b) positive(c) infinity(d) negativeThis question was addressed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.My question is taken from Thermodynamics in portion Thermodynamics of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct answer is (c) infinity

For explanation I would SAY: During the phase CHANGE of a substance the temperature change is zero. As we KNOW that specific heat CAPACITY = Q/cΔT which is zero; specific heat capacity becomes infinity, so during the process of conversion of ice into the WATER, the specific heat capacity is infinity.
