Question

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan with a greater specific heat, what can you predict about the temperature of this second pan

Answer 1

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.
