7. Given the following specific heats of energy, if the materials were left
out in the sun for 2 hours, which material would be the hottest? *
Material A: 2.03 J/gC
Material B: 0.71 J/gC
Material C: 0.89 J/gC
Material D: 0.45 J/gC

Answer:

Material D as its specific heat is the smallest.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the specific heat is defined as the energy required to increase (or decrease) 1 gram of a material by 1 °C, we can infer that the smaller the specific, the less energy is required for such temperature change, therefore, since material D needs 0.45 J of energy to increase the temperature of 1 g by 1 °C we can see that it will become the hottest as it has the smallest specific heat among the other ones.

Best regards.
