If an equal quantity of heat is transferred to 10.0 g samples of liquid water (c = 4.184 j/g°c), concrete (c = 0.88 j/g°c), asphalt (c = 0.920 j/g°c), glass (c = 0.84 j/g°c), and iron (c = 0.448 j/g°c), rank the final temperatures of the samples from least to greatest.

The ranking is given as; Water > Asphalt > Concrete > glass > Iron

Explanation:

The trick in solving this question is to assume a constant heat value; in this case i'll be choosing 100 J. Use this value to solve for the temperature difference. from that we can be able to rank the samples in order of their temperatures.

The formular to be used here is the;

H = MCΔT

Where;

H = Heat

M = Mass

C = Heat Capacity

ΔT = Temperature difference

ΔT = H/MC

In water;

ΔT = 100 / (10 * 4.184) = 2.39K

In Concrete;

ΔT = 100 / (10 * 0.88) = 11.36K

In asphalt;

ΔT = 100 / (10 * 0.920) = 10.87K

In glass;

ΔT = 100 / (10 * 0.84) = 11.9K

In iron;

ΔT = 100 / (10 * 0.448) = 22.3K

The samples with least temperature difference would have final temperatures and vice versa.

Our ranking is the given as; Water > Asphalt > Concrete > glass > Iron

gravity causes stares to cluster i think so
