Substance A has twice the heat capacity of substance B. If equal masses of both substances are raised 10 °C and substance A gains 30 kJ of energy, substance B gains 15 kJ of energy
What will be an ideal response?
The amount of heat transferred is DQ = (heat capacity)DT. Given that the
temperatures rise the same amount, the substance with the greater heat capacity will transfer
the greater amount of heat. Therefore, the statement is correct.
