Question

Two cubes, one silver and one iron, have the same mass and temperature. A quantity Q of heat is removed from each cube. Which one of the following properties causes the final temperatures of the cubes to be different?
A) density
B) latent heat of vaporization
C) specific heat capacity
D) coefficient of volume expansion
E) volume

Answer 1

Answer:

C) specific heat capacity

Explanation:

As we know that heat given to the system to change the temperature is given as

$Q = ms \Delta T$

here we know that

Q = thermal energy given to the system

s = specific heat capacity of the system

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

so here we know that

$\Delta T = \frac{Q}{ms}$

here we know that heat given to the two cubes is of same amount as well as the mass is same but the final temperature is different because of the specific heat capacity (s)

So correct answer would be

C) specific heat capacity
