Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The quantity of heat required to change the temperature of a substance without changing its phase is known as its specific heat. In this case, changing the temperature of ice from -6°C to -5°C involves a change in temperature within the same phase (solid), hence it involves the specific heat of ice.
