Chapter 5, Problem 44QP

Consider the following data:

Metal	Al	Cu
Mass(g)	10	30
Specific heat $$	0.900	0.385
Temperature $\left(\text{°C}\right)$	40	60

When these two metals are placed in contact, which of the following will take place?

(a)

Heat will flow from Al to Cu because Al has a larger specific heat.

(b)

Heat will flow from Cu to Al because Cu has a larger mass.

(c)

Heat will flow from Cu to Al because Cu has a larger heat capacity.

(d)

Heat will flow from Cu to Al because Cu is at a higher temperature.

(e)

No heat will flow in either direction.
