Are these statements about the specific heat true?
Statement 1: Specific heat of ice is double the specific heat of water.
Statement 2: Specific heat of foods decreases during freezing.
a) True, False
b) True, True
c) False, True
d) False, False

Answer: c
Explanation: Specific heat of ice is 2.1 kJ/kg K and specific heat of water. 4.218 kJ/kg K. Therefore the specific heat of ice is half of the specific heat of water. Specific heat of foods decreases during freezing as there is a continuous phase change from water to ice.
