)Suppose you have two insulated buckets containing the same amount of water at room temperature. You also happen to have two blocks of metal of the same mass, both at the same temperature, warmer than the water in the buckets. One block is made of aluminum and one is made of copper. You put the aluminum block into one bucket of water, and the copper block into the other. After waiting a while you measure the temperature of the water in both buckets. Which is warmer

The water in the bucket containing the aluminium block is warmer than the bucket containing the copper block.

The specific heat is the amount of heat needed or required to elevate the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1° C.

At standard conditions;

  • the specific heat of aluminium = 0.215 cal/gm/° C
  • the specific heat of copper = 0.0923  cal/gm/° C

We know that:

  • Heat loss by the metal block = Heat gained by the water bucket

Therefore, since the specific heat of aluminium is higher than that of copper, the water bucket containing aluminium block will be warmer than the bucket containing the copper block.
