(N/A) The specific heat capacity of water is significantly higher than that of land. During summer,water absorbs heat and its temperature increases much more slowly than land. Consequently,the air above the sea remains at a lower temperature compared to the air above the land. Therefore,when this air moves from the sea towards the land,it is felt as a cool breeze.

Which of the substances $A, B$,or $C$ has the highest specific heat? The temperature-time graph is shown.

The specific heat capacity of a substance is temperature dependent and is given by the formula $C = kT$,where $k$ is a constant of suitable dimensions in $SI$ units,and $T$ is the absolute temperature. If the heat required to raise the temperature of $1 \ kg$ of the substance from $-73^{\circ} C$ to $27^{\circ} C$ is $nk$,the value of $n$ is. . . . . . [Given: $0 \ K = -273^{\circ} C$.]
