Answer: As the amount of a substance increases the rate at which temperature changes decreases. Temperature and mass have an inverse relationship based on the specific heat equation, as they are on the same side of the equation. For a given amount of heat Q, as mass gets larger there will be a smaller increase in temperature.

Explanation: I hope this helps.
