Specific Heat and Phase Transitions
How and why does the specific heat of a material change as it undergoes a phase transition from solid to liquid?
A
Increases due to weakened interatomic forces allowing more vibrational modes
B
Decreases because liquid particles have less kinetic energy
C
Remains constant as it is an intrinsic property independent of phase
D
Changes proportionally to the latent heat of fusion
