Let's say there are two objects Object 1 has a high specific heat and Object 2 has a low specific heat Which object would heat more I'll give trust point and recommend contributor?

Heat energy (gained/lost)= mass x specific heat capacity x temperature(rise/fall) Now with this expression we come to know that for a given mass and with a given amount of heat energy in joule, as sp. heat cap is more then rise / fall in temperature will be less and vice versa.

Normally you'd say something about the heat of formation. Exactly what that would be depends on the results you got, which we obviously don't know.

How much energy would be needed to raise the temperature of a 5kg block of concrete by 10 degrees?

One needs to know the specific heat of concrete in order to answer this. q = mC∆T we know q = 52800 joules and the ∆T is 5 degrees. We do not know m (mass) or C (specific heat), so there are 2 unknowns.


Would adding milk then waiting would keep coffee hotter?

Yes it would. It has to do with the difference in heat transfer, the closer two objects are to being the same temperature, the slower they exchange heat. I know that there was a full explanation of this in a Scientific American article many years ago.
