Question

A 2 column table with 2 rows. The first column is labeled material with entries gold, iron. The second column is labeled specific heat in joules per gram degree Celsius with entries .129, .45. Which statement best describes the mass of gold and iron atoms based on their respective specific heat values?
Gold atoms are heavier than iron atoms
Iron atoms are heavier than gold atoms
Gold atoms have the same mass as iron atoms

Answer 1

Iron atoms are heavier than gold atoms

Explanation:

Chart:

 Materials            Specific heat

  Gold                       0.129

  Iron                          0.45

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1K.

We can see that the more the mass of a substance, the higher the specific heat needed to raise the temperature.

Specific heat is directly proportional to the mass of substance.

It also dependent on the amount of heat supplied and the nature of the substance.

• The mass of a body is the amount of substance it contains.
• A heavier substance has more number of atoms in it.
• Since iron has a higher specific it, the atoms must be heavier or more than that of gold.
