Question 11

Equal masses of two different liquids, Liquid X and Liquid Y, are put into identical beakers.

Liquid X and Liquid Y are heated for 150 s by heaters of the same power. The temperature of Liquid X increases by 10 ∘C10\text{ }^\circ\text{C}10 ∘C and the temperature of Liquid Y increases by 20 ∘C20\text{ }^\circ\text{C}20 ∘C.

Which statement is correct?

A

Liquid Y receives more energy than Liquid X.

B

Liquids X and Y receive different amounts of energy because their temperature rises are different.

C

The thermal capacity of Liquid X is greater than the thermal capacity of Liquid Y.

D

The thermal capacity of Liquid X is less than the thermal capacity of Liquid Y.
