Question

Copper is a common metal with many important uses, including power generation and building construction. A copper pipe fitting has a mass of 19.7 g and a strand of heavy-duty copper wire has a mass of 84.3 g.

Which has the larger specific heat? --

A. the copper pipe fitting

B.the copper wire

C.both have the same specific heat

Which has the larger heat capacity? --

A.the copper pipe fitting

B.the copper wire

C.both have the same heat capacity
