OpenStudy (festinger):

If you aren't sure, just multiply each value with a mass, say 1g. Raise the temperature by 1C. If you remember \[Q=mc\Delta T\] c, heat capacity is:\[\frac{Q}{m\Delta T}\]

lol yeah you explained last time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

) Lead 2) Magnesium 3) Iron 4) Aluminum are the choices i thought it was aluminum

OpenStudy (festinger):

Why aluminum?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no sorry iron i thought it said least. Iron becuase it had the highest number

OpenStudy (festinger):

well, aluminum has a number higher than iron!

OpenStudy (festinger):

look at the table, the substance that has the highest value is the answer

OpenStudy (festinger):

you don't have to worry about the Ar or anything like that because the values are given in per unit mass.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it aluminum

OpenStudy (festinger):

aluminium has 0.897, Magnesium has 1.023

OpenStudy (anonymous):
