A chemist places a 100 g cube of each of the metals listed in the table on a separate hot plate. All of the hot plates are identical. Each hot plate is set on medium heat, and all of the cubes have the same initial temperature. Based on the specific heat values in the table, rank the metals in terms of how quickly they will reach the target temperature of 80°C. Use "1" to indicate the fastest and "5" to indicate the slowest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lower the specific heat the faster the temperaature will change.

You can learn it from the formula:

Q = m * Cs * ΔT

You can solve for ΔT

ΔT = Q / ( m * Cs)

Given the heat (Q) and m (100 g) are equal for the five samples:

ΔT = [Q / m] / Cs. = constat / Cs

So you see the inverse relation between the change of temperatura and the specific heat.

So, the order of change of temperature is given by the specific heat: the lower the specific heat the faster the change of temperature.

With that analysis you can calculate the order in which the cubes will reach the target temperature.

explanation:

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew
