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.

Correct Answer: False, True
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.
