Select the incorrect statement. Specific heat capacity can never be a negative value. Specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of 1 g of that substance by 1°F. Specific heat capacity is a larger value when more energy is required to change the temperature of that substance. A) B) C) D) More than one statement is incorrect.
