Question

Need answer ASAP!! The specific heat capacity of metal A is twice that of metal B. Based on

this information, which of the following statements is true?

The melting point of metal A is higher than that of metal B

The heat of fusion of metal A is twice that of metal B

If the same amount of heat is absorbed by equal masses of metal A and metal B,
the temperature change of metal A will be twice that of metal B

If the same amount of heat is absorbed by equal masses of metal A and metal B,
the temperature change of metal A will be half that of metal B

Answer 1

last choice

Step-by-step explanation:

Specific heat of a metal is j/kg-c

It says nothing about melting point or heat of fusion

A = twice B = 2 * j/kg-c B = j/kg-c

if j is constant and mass is the same we can write this more like

A = 2 /C and B = 1/C

or A ~ C/2 and B~ C

now you can see that the temp change in A will be 1/2 that of B
