Answer to Problem 52A

The chemical composition and its mass determine the heat capacity of an object.

Explanation of Solution

Heat capacity is directly proportional to the mass of substance. Higher is the mass, higher is the heat capacity and vice versa.

The chemical composition of substance also affects the heat capacity. Different substances will have different temperature changes depending on their composition.
