Question

g f, as a pioneer, you wished to warm your room by taking an object heated on top of a stove into it, which of the following 15 lb objects, each heated to 100 degrees celcius, would be the best choice and why. The specific heat capacity (in J/(g.K)) is given in parenthesis. Iron (0.450), copper (0.387), granite (0.79), gold (0.129), or water (4.18)

Answer 1

Answer:

Granite

Explanation:

The best choice would be granite.

This is because granite has the highest specific heat capacity of 0.79 J/(g.K) and would thus store more heat in it for the same mass and same temperature change as the other materials.

Since it contains more heat, it would be able to heat up the room to a higher temperature than the other materials.
