General Questions

These questions are not explicitly keyed to chapter topics; many require integration of several concepts.

The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J g-1 °C-1, whereas it is 0.128 J g-1 °C-1 for gold. Assume you place 100. g of each metal, originally at 25 °C, in a boiling water bath at 100 °C. If energy is transferred to each metal at the same rate, which piece of metal will reach 100 °C first?
