the specific heat of a gallon of water is __________ the specific heat of a drop of water.

Answer 1

The specific heat of a gallon of water is EQUAL to the specific heat of a drop of water.

Explanation -

First of all try to understand the definition of specific heat. Specific heat is defined as a measure of the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one deg C or one deg K.

Means, it is independent of the mass of the substance and depends only on the nature of the substance.

Therefore, we can say that specific heat of a gallon of water is equal to the specific heat of a drop of water.
