Answer:
The Aluminium sample
Explanation:
From the question,
ΔQ of the iron = Cm(t₂-t₁)........................ Equation 1
Given: C = specific heat capacity of iron, m = mass of iron, t₁ and t₂ = initial and final temperature respectively.
Given: m = 175 g = 0.175 kg, t₂ = 21.5°C, t₁ = 99.7°C
Constant: C = 444 J/kgK.
Substitute into equation 1
ΔQ = 0.175(444)(21.5-99.7)
ΔQ = -6076.14 J
Similarly, for aluminium,
ΔQ' = c'm'(t₂-t₁)...................... Equation 2
Given: m' = 175 g = 0.175 kg,
Constant: 900 J/kgK
ΔQ' = 0.175(900)(21.5-99.7)
ΔQ' = -12316.5 J
Hence the aluminium sample undergoes the greater heat change
