Which item is used to describe the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of water?

  1. an electrical device used to store electrical charge

  2. unit of heat required to raise the temperature of water

  3. one of the pair of tubes that branch off from the trachea and go into the lungs

  4. the naming system for organism in which each organism is given a two-part name

The correct answer is: unit of heat required to raise the temperature of water

Heat is a form of energy that can be measured in units. In this context, the correct unit is the calorie (unit of heat). It is not an electrical device (A), nor a pair of tubes in the lungs (C), nor a naming system (D). These are unrelated concepts and do not accurately describe the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of water.
