When two object p and q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in p is observed to be twice that of q. the mass of p is half that of q. the ratio of the specific heat capacity of p to q

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity

It is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celsius .

It is given as :

Heat absorbed = mass of substance x specific heat capacity x rise in temperature

or ,

Q= m x c x t

In above question , it is given :

For Q

mass of Q = m

Temperature changed =T₂/2

Heat supplied = x

Q= mc t

or

X=m x C₁ X T₁

or, X =m x C₁ x T₂/2

or, C₁=X x 2 /m x T₂                                 (equation 1 )

For another quantity : P

mass of P =m/2

Temperature= T₂

Heat supplied is same that is : X

so, X= m/2 x C₂ x T₂                            

or, C₂=2X/m. T₂                                   (equation 2 )

Now taking ratio of C₂ to c₁, We have

C₂/C₁= 2X /m.T₂  /2X  /m.T₂

so, C₂/C₁= 1/1

so, the ratio is 1: 1

the answer is b, have negligible mass
