Question

The 3. If two substances having different specific heat capacities have the same amount of heat energy added to them, which one will have a higher resulting temperature - the one with a lower specific heat capacity or the one with the higher specific heat capacity? Explain. 4. If the calculated specific heat is 0.125 J/g.°C, what metals from Table 1 could be the unknown? What additional measurable criteria could be used to differentiate between the metals? pen Cond

Answer 1

3) Heat energy, q = mass x specific heat capacityx AT AT =- massx specific heat capacity Change in temperature (AT) is inversely proportional to specific heat capacity. Hence the metal with lower specific capacity will have a higher temperature. 4) There are two metals which are having specific heat closer to given value. They are gold (0.13J/g °C)or Bismuth(0.12J/g °C) If we know the molar mass of metal then we can differentiate the metal exactly.
