Three separate 3.5g blocks of Al, Cu, and Fe at 25^$\circ$C each absorb 0.505 kJ of heat. Which block reaches the highest temperature The specific heats of Al, Cu, and Fe are 0.900 J/g·^$\circ$C, 0.385J/g·^$\circ$C, and 0.444 J/g·^$\circ$C, respectively. A) Al B) Cu C) Fe D) Al and Cu E) Fe and Cu

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Copper (Cu) has the lowest specific heat capacity, meaning it requires less energy to increase its temperature, so it will reach the highest temperature when absorbing the same amount of heat.
