We apply the same amount of energy to 10.0-g samples of aluminum, iron, and silver which begin at the same temperature. Rank the metals from highest to lowest temperature after the heat is applied

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ag > Fe > Al

Explanation:

The values of the specific heat capacity of the elements are given as;

Aluminum = 0.897 J/g*K  

Iron=0.449 J/g*K  

Silver=0.235 J/g*K

Specific heat capacity basically refers to how much heat is required to change the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by a degree. Elements with high specific heat capacity would require higher energy compared to elements with lower values,

Aluminium (Al) has the highest specific heat capacity, hence it wold require more energy to cause a change in temperature. Aluminium would be the lowest.

Silver (Ag) has the lowest specific heat capacity hence it would require less energy to cause a change in temperature. Silver wold be the highest.

The middle would be iron (Fe).

The rank is given as;

Ag > Fe > Al
