Question

Rank the following species according to the decreasing energy needed to raise the temperature of 10.0 g of the substance by 25.0 ∘C.
Rank from most to least energy needed. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Answer 1

Answer 1) : To rank the species according to the decreasing energy needed to raise the temperature of 10 g of the substance by 25 °C, the oder of energy needed is given below as per their specific heat.

Which requires more energy as per their specific heats;

1. water  4.184
2. aluminum  0.897
3. cast iron  0.460
4. Copper  0.385
5. Silver 0.235

Answer 2)To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

The average kinetic energy of the molecules after point D,

The average kinetic energy of the molecules from point B to point C,

The average kinetic energy of the molecules before point A.
