Practice question
Question
Why does a calorimeter use a material with low specific heat capacity for its container?
Explanation
A material with low specific heat capacity absorbs less heat, minimizing its effect on the heat exchange between the substances being measured, ensuring accurate results. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to To absorb less heat. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
