Answer:
Lithium
Explanation:
The specific geat capacity of a substance is the energy required to raise 1 unit of that substance by one degree.
Heat energy (Q) = mc∇t
Q = heat energy
M = mass of the substance
c = specific heat capacity
∇t = change in temperature of the substance
Generally, increase in the specific heat capacity will lead to a lower final temperature likewise decrease in the specific heat capacity will lead to increase the final temperature of the substance.
From the data above, we can take just two specific heat capacity and test this theory.
Assuming we have a
Mass = 25g
Heat energy applied (Q) = 1 J
Initial temperature (T1) = 10°C
Final temperature (T2) = ?
Q = mc∇t
Q = mc (T2 - T1)
For Lithium, specific heat capacity = 3.58J/g°C
1 = 25 × 3.58 (T2 - 10)
Solve for T2
1 = 89.5 (T2 - 10)
1 = 89.5T2 - 895
89.5T2 = 896
T2 = 896 / 89.5
T2 = 10.011°C
For Magnesium (Mg) specific heat capacity = 1.02J/g°C
Q = mc∇t
1 = 25 × 1.02 × (T2 - 10)
1 = 25.5 (T2 - 10)
1 = 25.5T2 - 255
Solve for T2
25.5T2 = 256
T2 = 10.039°C
Notice the trend that decrease in the specific heat capacity leads to increase in the final temperature.
Try and continue for the elements and see how it works.
