Question

If we heat a 10 g sample of gold and a 10 g sample of iron with 50 kJ of energy each, which will have the greatest change in temperature?
gold specific heat= 0.129J/g degC)
iron specific heat = (0.452 J/g degC)

Answer 1

Do them both.
q = mass metal x specific heat x delta T.
q iw 50,000
The smaller heat capacity increases more.
