Two substance have the same mass and are both initially at 15.0 C. They both absorb 110 J energy. Which substance will have the higher temperature, the one with the higher or lower specific heat? Explain

Answer 1

lower specific heat

Answer 2

specific heat = delta Q/(m*deltaT)

delta t =deltaQ/cm

the lower the specific heat the smaller the number you have to divide by resulting in a larger delta T

Answer 3

oh thanks
