Don’t know how to put the calculation
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?
q = mc(delta T)
100 = 100 x 4.184 x delta T.

Substitute for Al and calculate dT.
Which dT is larger?
