Samples of three metals are prepared: potassium, silver, and rubidium. All of the samples have the same mass and begin the experiment at room temperature, 22.7°C. Each sample is placed into a coffee-cup calorimeter that contains the same volume of water at 97.8°C. Which sample will absorb the adjective heat? It is probably worth noting that potassium has the highest specific heat and silver has the lowest specific heat. Assume that all of the coffee-cup calorimeters have the same heat capacity. O rubidium O potassium O silver O All of the metal samples absorb the same amount of heat. O Not enough information to make any determination.
