Question
Suppose the same amount of heat is added to one kilogram of lead and one kilogram of water. Which has the larger increase in temperature?
The water, since it has a higher specific heat.
The lead, since it has a higher specific heat.
The water, since it has a lower specific heat.
The lead, since it has a lower specific heat.
Neither, the temperature increases by the same amount.
The water, since it has a higher specific heat.
The lead, since it has a higher specific heat.
The water, since it has a lower specific heat.
The lead, since it has a lower specific heat.
Neither, the temperature increases by the same amount.
Explanation / Answer
The lead, since it has a lower specific heat.
Q = m*S*dT
dT = Q/ms
S_water = 4190 J/ Kg k
s_lead = 130 J/Kg K
as Q is ame
dT_lead / dt_water = Swater/slead
dT_lead = 4190/130*dTwater = 32.23*dTwater
dT _lead = 32,23 dTwater
