6.4 Heat Capacity and Calorimetry
IntermediateMCQMathematical13k
A student investigates the thermal properties of three solid metal samples: \(\text{Al(s)}\), \(\text{Fe(s)}\), and \(\text{Ag(s)}\). Each sample has a mass of \(10.0 \text{ g}\) and an initial temperature of \(25.0^\circ\text{C}\). The student transfers \(180 \text{ J}\) of heat to each sample. The specific heat capacities of the three metals are given in the table below.

MetalSpecific heat capacity (\(\text{J/(g}\cdot^\circ\text{C)}\))
\(\text{Al(s)}\)\(0.90\)
\(\text{Fe(s)}\)\(0.45\)
\(\text{Ag(s)}\)\(0.24\)

Which of the following correctly ranks the metals in order of the magnitude of their temperature change (\(\Delta T\)), from greatest to least?
