The specific heat of water is 4.184J/gc and that of aluminum is 0.897J/gc which substance will show a larger increase in temperature upon the addition of 100J of heat to 100g the aluminum or the water
Answered by Kishwar
Don’t know how to put the calculation
Answered by DrBob222
heat in = mass x specific heat x delta T
q = mc(delta T)
100 = 100 x 4.184 x delta T.
Substitute and solve for dT.

Substitute for Al and calculate dT.

Which dT is larger?
