Vedclass · Answer

(C) The formula for heat exchange is given by $Q = m \cdot c \cdot \Delta 	heta$,where $Q$ is the heat,$m$ is the mass,$c$ is the specific heat,and $\Delta 	heta$ is the change in temperature.Rearranging for specific heat,we get $c = \frac{Q}{m \cdot \Delta 	heta}$.If the specific heat $c$ is infinite $(c = \infty)$,then the denominator $m \cdot \Delta 	heta$ must be zero.Since mass $m$ cannot be zero,it implies that $\Delta 	heta = 0$.This means that there is no change in temperature regardless of whether heat is absorbed or released by the substance,which is characteristic of a phase change process.
