If the same amount of heat was provided to the same mass of aluminum, brass, copper, and steel..which metal wo

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-10-09] [Hit: ]
That means it takes less heat to increase its temperature. And aluminum would be the coolest as it has the highest specific heat.......
If the same amount of heat was provided to the same mass of aluminum, brass, copper, and steel..which metal would have the highest temperature? Why?
Which would have the lowest?
Thanks!

-
specific heat of Aluminum is 900 J/kgC
specific heat of Copper is 386 J/kgC
specific heat of Brass is 380 J/kgC

There are many different alloys of steel, and many different values are seen.
Steel: 813 J/(Kg*K)
Steel: 500 J/(Kg*K)
Stainless Steel: 510 J/(Kg*K)
Steel: 520 J/(Kg*K)

But to answer your question, Brass would be hottest, because it has the lowest specific heat. That means it takes less heat to increase it's temperature. And aluminum would be the coolest as it has the highest specific heat.
