Explanation:
<em>Specific Heat:</em><em> </em>The specific Heat of any material is the heat absorbed or evolved by the material to raise or fall it's temperature by 1°C per unit mass of the material.
The heat absorbed or evolved (Q) is directly proportional to the mass of substance(m) and rise or fall of temp(∆T)
The general formula for specific heat is,
Where
- s is specific heat,
- Q is the Heat absorbed or evolved
- m is mass of substance
- & ∆T is change is temperature
<em>Now coming to your question,</em>
<em>The specific heat of Aluminium is 897 J/kg °C</em>
<em>The specific heat of Aluminium is 897 J/kg °C& specific heat of methanol is 2450 J/kg ° C</em>
The definition states that, <u>if the specific heat would be more, more amount of heat will be required for per unit change in temperature.</u>
The specific heat of Aluminium is 897 J/kg °C which means for one kilogram aluminium, 897 Joule energy is required to change it's temperature by 1°C & Similarly for one kilogram methanol 2450 joule energy is required.
Hence, the correct answer would be methanol!
