Substance A would have a delta T (change in temp) rise 1/2 the rise in substance B.
Q=mc x delta T
Q= heat energy in Joules
m= mass of substance heated or cooled
c= specific heat
ΔT is change in temp.
Solve for change in temp=. Q/mc
Specific heat and mass are not inversely proportional to heat energy input.
Putting into real world scenario of using water to heat a building.
Specific heat of water is 1.
It takes 1 btu to raise one pound of water 1 degF. at a base of 60 degF
Acetone specific heat is .51
So it takes half the amount of heat input to get a 100 degree ΔT, as compared to water.
Halogens therefore react most vigorously with Group 1 and Group 2 metals of all main group elements.
