Match the column
Column-I | Column-I |
(i) specific heat capacity | [A] depends on mass |
(ii) Latent heat | [B] Property of substance alone |
(iii) Heat capacity | [C] Independent of mass |
(iv) Water equivalent | [D] Property of object alone |
Correct Matrix Matching
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Step 1: Understand the definitions of each term in Column I:
- (i) matches with [A]
- (ii) matches with [B]
- (iii) matches with [D]
- (iv) matches with [C]
Thus, the matched pairs are:
(i) - [A], (ii) - [B], (iii) - [D], (iv) - [C]. Hence, the correct answer option is B.
- (i) Specific heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. Thus, it depends on the mass of the substance, making it related to option [A].
- (ii) Latent heat: This refers to the heat required for a substance to change its state without changing its temperature. Latent heat is a property of the substance alone (e.g., water, ice) and does not depend on the mass, making it related to option [B].
- (iii) Heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of heat required to change the temperature of an object by one degree Celsius. It is a property of the object, depending on its mass and the specific heat of the material, making it related to option [D].
- (iv) Water equivalent: This represents the mass of water that absorbs the same amount of heat for a given temperature change. It is thus a property dependent on the object, making it related to option [C].
- (i) matches with [A]
- (ii) matches with [B]
- (iii) matches with [D]
- (iv) matches with [C]
Thus, the matched pairs are:
(i) - [A], (ii) - [B], (iii) - [D], (iv) - [C]. Hence, the correct answer option is B.
