Question

He specific heat of Aluminum is 0.9 J/g K. The specific heat of Copper is 0.39 J/g K. If samples of equal mass of both Aluminum and Copper are heated up to 100°C and then dropped in a cold water bath. Compare the heat lost by the two samples.
A) There is not enough information to conclude anything.
B) The copper loses a little more than twice the heat of the Aluminum.
C) The Aluminum loses a little more than twice the heat of the Copper.
D) The heat lost is the same because the temperature change is the same.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) The Aluminum loses a little more than twice the heat of the Copper.

Explanation:

Since specific heat is part of the equation. A smaller specific heat will create a smaller heat gain or loss. The Aluminum loses a little more than twice the heat of the Copper.

Answer 2

the real answer is c
