Comparing Specific Heat Capacities
Two metal blocks of identical mass, A and B, are heated to the same initial temperature. Each is then placed in a separate calorimeter containing an equal mass of water at the same initial temperature. Block A causes the water temperature to increase by 15.0°C, while Block B causes an increase of 7.5°C. What is the ratio of the specific heat capacity of Block B to that of Block A ($$c_B : c_A$$)?
A
1:2
B
7.5:15
C
2:1
D
15:7.5
