A metal is thought to be copper or gold. When 18 g of themetal absorbs 58 cal, its temperature rises by 35 °C. (3.6)a. What is the specific heat, in cal/g °C, of the metal?

A sample of copper absorbs 3.53 kJ of heat, which increases the temperature by 25 ºC, determine the mass (in kg) of the copper sample if the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J / g  ºC.

Based on their given specific heat capacities which compound would show the greatest temperature change upon absorbing 25.0 J of heat?
