Four samples of steel, lead, alcohol, and glass all have the same mass and are all initially at 20°C. After 100 calories of heat are added to each sample, the final temperatures are 38.2°C for the steel, 85.6°C for the lead, 23.4°C for the alcohol, and 30°C for the glass. Which of these four materials has the largest specific heat capacity?
A. The alcohol
B. The steel
C. The lead
D. The glass
E. All of these choices have the same heat capacity, since all absorbed 100 cal of heat
