Question

Loren has the samples of elements that are listed below at room temperature. He exposes the samples to the same heat source until each sample reaches a temperature of 90.0°C. 10 g of Al(s) (C subscript p. = 0.897 J/(gi°C)) 10 g of Ag(s) (C subscript p.= 0.234 J/gi°C ) 10 g of Fe(s) (C subscript p. = 0.450 J/gi°C) 10 g of Zn(s) (C subscript p. = 0.387 J/gi°C ) From first to last, which lists the order in which these samples will reach 90.0°C?

Answer 1

Answer: The order from first to last is

Ag. Zn. Fe. Al

Explanation:

Those with higher values of Cp* w will have lower increase in temperature.
