A celebrity chef is looking for a metal -plated pan that she can heat to the highest temperature possible for a given input of energy. Her different pan options are: copper, iron, and aluminum. All of the pans have the same mass. Based on the metal's specific heat capacities shown , the chef should choose a pan made from iron because it undergoes the largest temperatule change for a given input of energy. Specific Heat in J/g^circ C

Based on the metal's specific heat capacities shown , the chef should choose a pan made from iron because it undergoes the largest temperatule change for a given input of energy. Specific Heat in J/g^circ C

Answer 1

The specific heat capacity of a substance determines how much energy is required to raise the temperature of a given mass by one degree Celsius. A lower specific heat capacity means the substance heats up more for the same amount of energy input. Therefore, the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity will undergo the largest temperature change.
