If you pour equal amounts of scalding hot water into different metallic cups of equal temperature, which cup will heat up the most? 500 g aluminum, 500 g silver and 750 g aluminum

how do you calculate the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thermal conductivity of silver is highest here(as far as I know its conductivity is highest of all metals)..so silver 500g > aluminium 500 g > aluminium 750 g (more mass requires more heat, so it's hard to heat 750 g compared to 500 g)
