    Consider boiling water converting into steam. Under this condition, the specific heat of water is

    A)  less than zero

    B)  zero                                             

    C)  slightly greater than zero                        

    D)  infinite

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    During conversion of water into steam, temperature remains constant \[(\Delta \theta =0)\] For phase conversion \[\Delta Q=mL=\,ms\,\,\Delta \theta \] or \[s=\frac{L}{\Delta \theta }=\frac{L}{0}=\infty \] \[[\because \,\,\,L\ne 0]\] where, L is latent heat of steam.
