Given the following specific heats, answer the question below:

Question

Metal	Specific Heat (J/g°C)
Manganese	0.477
Sodium	1.225
Strontium	0.301
Aluminum	0.899
Beryllium	1.823

 

If the same amount of heat is added to 100.0 g samples of each of the metals, which are all at the same temperature, which metal will have the highest temperature?

Answer 1

Strontium will have the highest temperature because it takes less heat to raise 1 g by 1 degree than any of the other metals. See my more detailed answer to the same question asked earllier.
