If the specific heat of aluminum is 899 j/kg °c and the specific heat of water is 4190 j/kg °c, which of the following statements is true?
a.
it takes more energy to heat 1 kg of water 1°c than it does to heat the same amount of aluminum.
b.
it takes more energy to heat 1 kg of aluminum 1°c than it does to heat the same amount of water.
c.
it is impossible to heat water to a high temperature because it requires too much energy.
d.
aluminum produces more energy than water does when it is heated.
re

it takes more energy to heat 1 kg of water 1°C than it does to heat the same amount of aluminum. (Option A).

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Specific heat of aluminium = 899 J/kg °C

Specific heat of water = 4190 J/kg°C

A. It takes more energy to heat 1 kg of water 1°C than it does to heat the same amount of aluminum.

Q = m*c*ΔT

Q(al) = 1kg * 899 J/kg°C* 1°C = 899 J

Q(H2O) = 1kg * 4190 J/kg°C * 1°C = 4190 J

⇒ This is true

B.

It takes more energy to heat 1 kg of aluminum 1°C than it does to heat the same amount of water.

C.

It is impossible to heat water to a high temperature because it requires too much energy.

⇒ This is not true

D.

Aluminum produces more energy than water does when it is heated.

⇒ Aluminium produces less energy than ater when it's heated

The specific heat of aluminium is 899 J/kg°C, this means it requires 899 joules of heat to heat 1kg of aluminium for 1°C

The specific heat of water is 4190 J/kg°C, this means it requires 4190 joules of heat to heat 1kg of water for 1°C

This means it takes more energy to heat 1 kg of water 1°C than it does to heat the same amount of aluminum. (Option A).

its going to be mutualism cuz they both benefit from the relationship.

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.
