Question

the specific heat of gold is 0.031 calories degrees Celsius and the specific heat of silver is 0.057 calories degrees Celsius so if equal. amounts of each metal are exposed to equal heating which will heat up faster​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Specific heat of gold = 0.031cal/°C

Specific heat of silver = 0.057cal/°C

To know the metals that will heat up faster, we must understand the meaning of specific heat capacity.

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C.

Now,

The higher the specific heat capacity the more energy it is required to heat up the substance.

So, Gold with a specific heat capacity of 0.031cal/°C will heat up faster.
