Question 73

Equal masses of two different liquids, X X\,X and YYY, are placed into identical beakers. Liquid X X\,X is heated for 240 s and liquid Y Y\,Y is heated for 120 s using electric heaters of the same power. Each liquid undergoes the exact same rise in temperature. Which statement is correct?

A

Liquid YYY receives more energy than liquid XXX.

B

Each beaker of liquid receives the same amount of thermal energy.

C

The thermal capacity of liquid XXX is less than the thermal capacity of liquid YYY.

D

The thermal capacity of liquid XXX is greater than the thermal capacity of liquid YYY.
