Question 43

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

Liquid $X\,$ is heated for 240 s and liquid $Y\,$ is heated for 80 s by heaters of the same power. Each liquid undergoes the same rise in temperature.

Which statement is correct?

Liquid $Y$ receives more thermal energy than liquid $X$ .

The thermal capacity of liquid $X$ is one-third of the thermal capacity of liquid $Y$ .

The specific heat capacity of liquid $X$ is three times the specific heat capacity of liquid $Y$ .

Both liquids have the same specific heat capacity.
