Question

select the correct answer.
kylie places a cube of metal a and a cube of metal b in two separate beakers of water. then she heats
the mass of metal, the amount of water, and the amount of heat the same. at the end of her experime
metal a has a lower temperature than metal b. what can she conclude about the thermal properties of

metal b is a better conductor than metal a.

metal a is a better conductor than metal b.

metal a has a higher heat capacity than metal b.

metal b has a higher heat capacity than metal a.

Explanation:

La capacidad calorífica (\(Q = mc\Delta T\)) es la cantidad de calor necesaria para elevar la temperatura de una masa dada de un material. Aquí, \(Q\) (calor), \(m\) (masa) son iguales para los dos metales. La ecuación se puede reordenar como \(c=\frac{Q}{m\Delta T}\). Como \(T_{A}c_{B}\) (ya que \(Q\) y \(m\) son constantes).

Answer:

Metal A has a higher heat capacity than metal B.
