What type of heat must be applied in order to raise the temperature of water from 60 degrees F to 180 degrees F?

A crucial heat
B sensible heat
C latent heat
D super heat
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) sensible heat. Sensible heat refers to the heat energy that is added or removed from a substance, such as water, that results in a change in its temperature without changing its physical state (e.g., from liquid to gas). In this case, the temperature of the water is being raised from 60°F to 180°F, which involves adding sensible heat to the water. The other options are incorrect because: - Crucial heat is not a recognized term in thermodynamics. - Latent heat is the heat energy required to change the physical state of a substance, such as from liquid to gas. - Superheat refers to heating a gas beyond its boiling point, which is not the case here.
