If the same amount of energy in the form of heat is added to 8.9 g samples of each of the metals below, which metal will undergo the largest temperature change?

Explanation:

The metal with the highest specific heat capacity will undergo the most temperature change.

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat supplied to a unit mass of a substance to cause a temperature change of 1°C.

A very good conductor of heat will have low specific heat capacity. This implies that less heat will be required to cause a monumental change in its temperature.

                  C  =

where C  is specific heat

            H is the amount of heat supplied

            m is the mass

             t is the temperature

We see that since both H and m for the two metals are the same, specific heat is inversely proportional to temperature change.

The lower the heat capacity, the higher the temperature change.
