Chapter 12, Problem 11CR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The sample that ends up at the highest temperature is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The total amount of heat that is required per unit mass of the substance that raises the temperature by $1°$ celsius is known as specific heat of that substance. The relationship between specific heat and heat needed by the system is shown as,

$\text{q}\left(\text{heat}\text{needed}\text{bythe}\text{system}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{c}\left(\text{specific}\text{heat}\right)\times \text{m}\left(\text{mass}\right)\times \\ \text{Δ}\text{T}\left(\text{temperature}\text{change}\right)\end{array}\right)$.
