Best Answer

q = mass * specific heat * change in temperature

1 kg silver = 1000 grams

q = (1000 g Ag)(0.237 J/gC)[(- 40o C) - (- 20o C)]

= - 4.7 X 103 Joules

What metal will have the highest temperature with specific heat of aluminum 0.215 copper 0.092 and silver of 0.057?

I would like to start off by saying that: Energy absorbed by metal = mass of metal x specific heat capacity of metal x change in temperature of the metal If the same amount of energy is given to all three metals, there would be the highest temperature increase in the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity. Therefore, Silver would be the answer.


How do you melt silver?
