You apply the same amount of heat to 5 grams of water and 5 grams of aluminum. The temperature of the aluminum increases more than the temperature of the water. Which can you conclude?The heat capacity of the water is higher than the heat capacity of the aluminum.
The heat capacity of the aluminum is higher than the heat capacity of the water.
Heat capacity does not affect the rate at which temperature increases.
