Compared to that of water, the heat capacity of our mystery metal is:
b) one-third as great

<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise temperature of 1 kg body for 1°C.

<em>Q = Energy ( Joule )</em>
<em>m = Mass ( kg ) </em>
<em>c = Specific Heat Capacity ( J / kg°C ) </em>
<em>Δt = Change In Temperature ( °C )</em>
Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>
room temperature = to = 20°C
final temperature of water = t_w = 40°C
final temperature of metal = t_m = 80°C
mass of water = mass of metal = m
<u>Asked:</u>
specific capacity of metal = c_m = ?
<u>Solution:</u>







Compared to that of water, the heat capacity of our mystery metal is:
b) one-third as great.
