Question

The 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.

Answer 1

Answer: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. 
Hope this helped!!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Heat loss by  aluminium will be more as compare to copper.

Explanation:

We know that heat lost given as follows

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

Given that mass of aluminium and copper are same so lets take 1 g.

Lets take the temperature of cold water is 10°C

For aluminium

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

$Q=1\times 0.9\times 90$

Q= 81 J

For copper

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

$Q=1\times 0.39\times 90$

Q= 35.1 J

So from above we can say that heat loss by  aluminium will be more as compare to copper.
