Question

Answer the following question on the basis of the information given in the table below.

The following materials of equal masses at 20 degrees Celsius were heated by supplying the same amount of heat. Which of them will be at the highest final temperature?

  1. Iron
  2. Sand
  3. Zinc
  4. Tungsten

hintHint:

Use Q = mSΔT.

The correct answer is: Tungsten


    • With the equation Q = mSΔT we can say change in temperatre is inversely proportional to Specific heat capacity.
    • So the object with low specific heat capapcity value will be at high temperature.
    • According to the options given, Tungsten has least heat capacity so it will be at higher temperature.
