Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The definition described in the question is specifically for molar heat capacity (choice B). Specific heat (choice A) is the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C, and is not specific to a particular number of moles. Enthalpy (choice C) is a measure of the total energy of a system and is not directly related to the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a substance. State function (choice D) refers to a property of a system that depends only on its current state, and is not specifically related to heat capacities. Change in enthalpy (choice E) refers to the difference in enthalpy between two states of a system and is not directly related to heat capacities.
